I will be off -line for a couple of weeks due to an assignement that I need to complete. I will not be making any posts or responses to blog comments, although I will try to monitor them from time to time. Please take the opportunity to review my 300 posts that I have made over the last nine months,... Continue Reading →
Perception
I found myself thinking about perception again, as it relates to how I photography, what I see and equally as important, perhaps what I don't see. As to how we are raised, we start to get 'programmed', not perhaps in the evil sense of this word, but the idea that our language and customs get... Continue Reading →
Hahnemuhle printing issue
While printing my Foundations folio, I have had only one issue with the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag (308gm), which is with the Hahnemulhle feeding through my Epson 4800. This is a modest size printing project, as I needed to print only 130 cut sheets of 8-1/2" x 11" for the first printing of this folio. I had heard about paper... Continue Reading →
Memorial Shrine
I drive by this memorial shrine frequently on my daily commute and other side trips that I need to be on the 241 tollroad, thus I have continued to watch this memorial evolve. I had made my image of this memorial last Spring for my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip and although not published in... Continue Reading →
Comfort Zone
I think we all have those safe places where we can work comfortably. Sometimes we need to press that to help get out of a rut, to try something different, to go after a stretch goal. I know, enough of the pom-pom stuff. But the idea of doing something different may have a very positive effect... Continue Reading →

Happy New Year 2008
I want to wish you the very best for a very wonderful New Year for 2008! We had a nice evening last night with friends and family, playing some cards, watching the New Year come in and toasting with a little champaign. I have made myself some goals for this year, as I try to experience life directly... Continue Reading →
Making some mistakes
Today's a nice day outside. Nevertheless, I am inside still printing my first Folio and making some additional edits to the Folio Introduction as well as my web site. I have second, third and fourth thoughts and keep tweaking the words. Never seems 'perfect'. Oh NO, I may be misunderstood. Yeah, those kinda of dumb thoughts. Self-doubt... Continue Reading →
LensWork #74: Dec 30th update
I just checked the LensWork Extended web site and issue #74 is on line with an available pdf download of the current issue to sneak a peek of the issue, which included 4 of my In Passing images from the print copy. That would mean it should be on the magazine shelves shortly (I hope!) ;- ) Best regards, Doug... Continue Reading →
Day of Odds & Ends
Well, the title kinda says it all. One of those days that you spend getting the odds and end things done. Making some progress on setting up a commerical account to sell my images, getting another image of the Edition folio printed, reading some back issues of magazines, and the similar stuff. So I'm making a little head... Continue Reading →
