There used to be a saying in film photography – “When in doubt, shoot.”

It can become a bit boring to always see bridled conformity to most “camera club” standards. Breaking away from closed-minded rules will free you photographically.

Our world needs us to pay attention to what we humans are doing to ourselves. Seeing, questioning and revealing…

Here are a few of the most critical issues we face. These and many others, are the subjects of concerned image makers.

While much of the practice of photography relies on the capabilities of the photographer, it also relies on serendipity and ones knowledge of the subject.

By the time people saw the truth, it was way too late.

All of a sudden the world seems different. You’ll be amazed at what you can see when you just get out and have a closer look. For me, it is when the magic happens.

Once you begin to realize the miracle we are in, you might agree that everything is sacred.

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.
