Photography workshops are interesting in many ways. Among the most interesting, in my opinion, is how people interact with the scenes before them. It’s always exciting to watch how different people approach a scene. Some will grab their camera and tripod and rush to begin taking photos. Others will appear to meander, barely taking their […]
First, let me comment on my use of the word “student” in this post. I was tempted to refer to those attending my recent workshops as “participants.” But that seems almost clinical, whereas the word “student” credits those seeking more knowledge on any subject, whether it be those in attendance at a photography workshop or […]
It’s been months since I posted on this blog. But, all of a sudden it’s time to get back at it. I can look at many reasons for my change in motivation however, two recent workshops sit right on top of my list and I owe a dozen people a debt of gratitude. Those dozen […]
The cost of printing your own images, using an inkjet printer is always a subject you can get into with other photographers. What’s the most economical means of making our work available to others for view or possible sale? Without discussing the pros and cons of “publishing” our work on the Internet, it seems to […]

One of my Linkedin group asked a question today that spawned this post. He’s heading to Tuba City, AZ this summer and is concerned about shooting in the bright and hot sun. Well founded concerns based on my limited experience. It will be hot that time of year and I can virtually guaranteed that “bright” […]
Those readers who are members of The North American Nature Photographers Association’s (NANPA) and readers of its magazine, Currents, will find the spring edition exceptional – great articles from esoteric as well as technological perspectives. I particularly enjoyed the articles on Putting on a Photo Presentation and the one on Depth of Field. While neither […]
I often head north! I was reading my favorite photo magazine this morning, the April 2010 edition of Outdoor Photographer. The focus was on National Parks, which leaves some of us who live where true national parks are non-existent, almost aching for the opportunity to head west…or at least south.
