HT2221 - Shadow Writing
I've always thought it was curious that photography is defined by its very nomenclature to be "light writing," but what we actually do is write the shadows onto white paper. If we think about what actually happens when we make our photographs, it helps make better decisions about how we control the exposure and what processing steps we need to pay attention to as we write the shadows onto the white background.

HT2218 - A Convenience Camera
There was a time when I searched for the one camera that would meet all my needs. How innocent I was back then. That camera was likely to be large, full-featured far beyond my needs, render the highest quality images I could ever imagine, and cost and weigh a lot. But sometimes, that camera is just too much camera. I've recently added a new camera I think of as my "convenience camera" for time where portability and light weight take precedence over the ideal.

HT2215 - No One Cares About Our Plans

They haven't done it yet, but they announce to the world they are about to do it — as though we are supposed to care about their plans. Don't tell people what you are planning to do; tell them what you've actually done, accomplished, finished. That's the only thing that counts in the art world.
