Fresh Air


Well of COURSE it was a wonderful day for fall colors... I got to enjoy some of it with one of my two favorite daughters... take a look!


Unless you have been to this particular corner of heaven it's hard to appreciate fully.  But I've been there, and hope to return again.  Honestly - this IS where they keep all the fresh air...

Apps and Artistry: How cell phone photography might actually be ‘legit’

Is the best camera really the one you have with you? Photographer Chase Jarvis thought so, and in 2009 wrote a whole book by that title featuring smartphone images. I tend to agree, especially when a once-in-a-lifetime moment pops up and the one thing I have in hand is an iPhone and a split-second window of opportunity. One of my most treasured images from the last decade is a discreet closeup of my mom cradling my dad’s hand as he lay dying. Captured spontaneously and non-intrusively with my cell phone from across the hospital room, it shows the depth and richness of their 75-year love story. Thankfully, the moment is ours forever because my phone was in my hand and I responded in a way that was respectful to and honoring of everyone.  The same truth holds in more everyday settings, where “smaller can be better” for the amateur or semi-pro image maker.

Men look snappy and elegant if they're owners or regulars, and tired and intensely focused if they're handlers. Teller lines are long but fast moving and all faces are furtively fixed on video boards and CC TVs. Trackside, the atmosphere is electric and bright as thoroughbreds thunder by, sweating, gasping, veins and muscles bulging and covered in mud. Yeah. I like it. I hope I get to go back.

Perspective

In this composite using my macro rose with a friend's drone photo, I combined his expansive perspective with my intimate point of view.  It's a great analogy for how I like to create — examine all sides of a subject before shooting, writing or forming an opinion about it. Both views are essential, and it's often of great benefit to view them at the same time.
