Looking at one photograph at a time
Fading Memories The working title to my project is "Bad Trip - Sad Trip", a project title that changes a little each day. While I was in Shanghai last month, I was trying to have a "chop" or stamp made for this project title. It does not translate easily, and as close as we could get... Continue Reading →
NYCity Ground Zero There seems to be some internet Angst with a few reviews (example see blog: The Online Photographer) of the Lecia M8 and comparison with the Canon Rebel XTi. For the record, I have a Canon Rebel XTi and a "Lecia", more about that in a moment. As to my background for this review, I look at... Continue Reading →
Randy Looking back, I have always been thinking in terms of groups of photograhs, mostly thematic landscape groups. Occasionally I will fnd that I am interested in a particluar group of images that have a stronger unifying "glue" and then I begin to group these together as a series. Then I read the artilce (seems like most have)... Continue Reading →
Stand of Trees I was reading Nick Brandt's book On This Earth, where he writes of his photographing technique in the Afterward. It struck a cord within me as being similar to what I have found that I am doing when photographing the landscape. He states (my excerpts) "I don't use telephoto lens....I want to get a real sense of... Continue Reading →
Non-Postcard of Bavaria After writing my earlier message this morning, I started to wonder, did I keep the second version that I aluded to? After doing some digging in the back-up CD's, there is was.

This was initiated by a review of some recently published landscape images in Blind Spot magazine. I guess what bothers me is that there are the judgements regarding "good" landscape images, infurring of course that there are "bad" landscape... Continue Reading →
More about the blog managment; yesterday I resized my posted images to from large jpg to small jpgs. Now that I am traveling and completing a quick review from some other computers, the small images do not appear any where near what they potentially should. So until I return and reload them again as a medium size jpg, please do... Continue Reading →
Tree Grove, Warsaw Indiana Earlier this year, I made the image above, Tree Grove, Warsaw Indiana, and I have realized that my landscape photograhy has evolved yet again. I believe that I am a long way from what I thought landscape photography must be and actively practiced back in the mid 1970's. Those were the days just after... Continue Reading →
Tired Bones A couple of days ago at the end of April I posted an image to Camera Arts magazine for their monthly on-line contest, which for April the subject was Travel. In checking their blog this morning, there it was, my image had made the first cut and is now posted on Flickr for "judging". The image is in my earlier post... Continue Reading →
Morning Sentinel, Warsaw, Indiana 2007 After I publish this message, I am off to the post office to ship an exchange print (the image above, Morning Sentinel) to Colin (blog: photostream). I have just added a print exchange page to my web site, where I am open to discussing print exchanges between photographers. I believe that it is... Continue Reading →
