It is the why and what we seek to find as photographers. As photographers we are visual poets. We write poems with our vision. Our subjects the actors we use to tell our story.

Somewhere along the line, the world seems to have succumbed to the need for exaggeration in everything we do. ………Photography opens the door for seeing the world as it really exists. It allows us to realize the good as well as the bad.

A Skink Pinhole Pancake is a great way to create beautiful soft and dreamlike imagery with either a digital or a film camera.

For some reason there seems to be an acceptance that every image focused on the maker ever created in the history of artistic image-making must now be thrown into this single and greatly demeaning heading.

This is the third of a number of posts that will be devoted to the construction and the use of such a camera.

It seems that the photographic world is pretty much divided between those who see the world as they want to see it (fantasy) and those who attempt to see the truth (reality).

It may be hard for some to imagine that there was a time when snapshot images were produced in the round.

“Photography is in part about time. Life is time.”

Whether toxic waste, nuclear power, or oil there are ignorant and uncaring offenders at every level. Each accidental or deliberate act at any scale reduces the Earth’s ability to sustain life. A photographer’s perspective.

It seems to me that the only way that art will ever be able to do its job is if everyone of us are on the same page.
