For What It's Worth

I've started shooting again. It seems I've tripped over some people who like my style - discouraging though. After over a quarter of a million combined hits on the sites where I'm represented there have only been a couple who've followed through beyond the "Your work is awesome" comments.

It's interesting but I'm hesitant. I'm trying to get back to the style and techniques of some of the earlier shoots in Pennsylvania. The Millers Series was probably the best of the bunch. I wonder if terrible lights and cheap cameras weren't what brought it all together. I have good lights now and a decent camera but I have to work harder to get to the same place. I used to think it was the nut behind the wheel that made everything work. I'm no longer so sure of that premise.

New Jersey and PA

Restaurant Man

It's finally over. I've lost my enthusiasm for air travel, hotels, and rental cars.

Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday - Reading, PA
Saturday met Jack with the Museum. Will donate historic photos.
On Monday we moved the show to Stroudsburg, PA and we had dinner with my daughter in Montclair, NJ.
Dinner with Bob and Marcia on Tuesday.
Dinner with Eric and John on Wednesday.
Lunch with Paul Castello - Dinner with Messick on Thursday (the best of the bunch)
Back to Tucson via Cincinatti and Atlanta.

Home again, home again, jigitty jog. That should do it for that kind of marathon for at least another year.

I read that a minister in a church here in the USA expelled nine parishoners because they voted for the wrong candidate. Then I think about Germany in the 1930s, Serbia in the 1990s, Rowanda any day of the week since the colonial powers pulled out, Oliver Cromwell, Darfore today ... How many steps away from stoning those people was that minister?

Given evangelical zeal, to imagine it can't happen here is simply naive.

Up From Siera Vista

From Reddington Pass

Actually, this was shot in March but it's part of the epiphany of discovering that Ansel Adams didn't shoot landscapes. What he DID shoot was meteorology - the atmosphere. My object this summer is to shoot the atmosphere and learn more about shooting effective landscapes.
