Looking at one photograph at a time
Looking back, many of my photos from China are not that bright and colorful, but I wanted to present a little more balance view. There were my expectations of China, Mao comes immediately to mind. One of the first nights while visiting Shanghai, we ventured over to Nanjing Road, a short walk from the downtown hotel.... Continue Reading →
While I was putting the finishing touches of the sofbound version of In Passing, I continued to concurrently work my project development process for my China photographs. Over the weekend, I started the development of the artist statements (book introductions) for the three distinct projects coming out of my China experience. I also identifed three buckets (file folders) to move my... Continue Reading →
"Watering Hole" copyright of Amy Stein I had an opportunity to review a local exhibit that inculded the work of Amy Stein and a couple of other photographers. In my role as the editor of the The Photo Exchange, I am more of a reporter versus a true reviewer. Perhaps that will evolve over time.... Continue Reading →
When I was writing about our trip to Las Vegas a couple of days ago, I just realized that I had an image to post with it, which is this one Heart Broken Fence, part of my project In Passing. In the introduction I wrote about how these road side memorials continue to change. What I saw during... Continue Reading →
This photograph was another strech for me, in many ways. After a flurry of email exchanges with Butzi about the Chinese Hutongs (alleyways of older cities), I had decided to go into one old Hutong in JiaShan that I had seen earlier in the week. It was a nice walk in the Blizzard, the narrow alleyways... Continue Reading →
While in Eastern China during the January blizzard, I continued my interest in photographing people who were a part of the landscape. We were making very slow progress in our journey to Shanghai and the driver thought he knew a shortcut around the constant traffic jam. The shortcut did not work out, but it did... Continue Reading →
I went camera-less for a little birthday bash holiday for the last couple of days and had a chance to see a couple of plays over in SinCity. Las Vegas is such an interesting place! Mostly thinking about what to do next. I want to complete the "In Passing" books now that I have the sharpening... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I made a bad assumption. That the sharpening action that I had developed for the HP Indigo 5000 for Blurb printing was exclusively for the Blurb Indigo printer and did not apply to the Xerox iGen3 printer that Blurb utilizes for the 7" x 7" books. Duh! The truth in the matter is that... Continue Reading →
I just received my copy of the v1.1 for the changes that I anticpated making for the book Sharpening Photographs for Blurb Printing. And this confirms again wy is better to go with an initial private printing before going public! Because I missed the mark with v1.1 and actually my first version is about right... Continue Reading →
Well, I do not know what the issue was, but nevertheless, I can now post the photograph that I had tried unsuccessfully last evening. So I am going to edit this entry and continue on with what I am was trying to say. I had placed this same black & white image on Stills, another site which I... Continue Reading →
