HT2413 - Waiting for the Light Yesterday, I was at a terrific location for high altitude mountain photography. The scene was lovely, the rocks majestic, and the snow a perfect accent to add texture to the rock face. The only thing that was missing was a splash of winter sun. I decided to wait. Five hours later, I got the break in the clouds I was w…

HT2412 - The Crucial Missing Element from So Much of Fine Art Photography One of the most common reactions I have when I see great artwork is that I cannot comprehend how it was done.

But while we are all still making single images, the mass of images that is building in our Lightroom catalogs is applying a pressure that previous generations could not ima…

HT2409 - The Unrecognized Masterpiece Earlier this year I was reading a book on creativity and the author proposed that even the best creators and artists rarely are aware they are producing a masterpiece.

HT2408 - Viewer Fatigue vs Disinterestedness We've probably all had the experience when showing a body of work that the viewer doesn't complete the entire project from start to finish. Does this mean they've lost interest somewhere along the way? Or is it possible that it's viewer fatigue and they've simply absorbed as many images as they can? Show…

HT2407 - Paul Strand Paul Strand has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. Three of his books are in my top 10 all-time favorites list. Time in New England (1950), Un Paese (1955), and Tir a'Mhurain / Outer Hebrides (1962). One of the aspects of his work that I love is the mixture of portraits, architecture, life style, landscape, and nature —…
