Photog Class 8: Personal Vision
In this final installment of the crash course in photography I want to discuss the goal, the end game, what the point of all the efforts in photography really are. On first review, photography is more or less about making nice or beautiful pictures. But what makes...
Summer Leaves
Hot muggy weather, thunder and hail, and all the leaves-- even though it's not officially summer, I think we're pretty much there. I'm wearing shorts, and I took a short snooze earlier on our new deck stairs landing in my zero gravity chair. As I get older I like...
Finished
