LW1449 - The Goal of the Process
As someone looks at one of your images, Is that the end of a process of the beginning of one? Is viewing your image the end of their engagement with it? Or do we hope viewing our image is the beginning of a small mental journey that engages their imagination, poses a few questions, or moves them to a further experience?

HT2227 - The Balance of Input and Output
I can't help but feel that the path of an artist is one that balances input and output. If all we do is watch television, read, be entertained, it's difficult to be an artist. If all we do is work, produce, construct, it's equally difficult to be an artist. The key to the art life is finding the middle way, a balance input and output, where we take in, feel, think, and then produce with our response to the world.

HT2226 - The Least Camera Needed
Ted Orland opened my eyes about gear. He advocated that we should choose a camera that's fit for the job but the least capable camera we can. His idea was based on the observation that the more capable the camera, the more complex, and the more complex it is the more it intrudes into the connection between us and the subject.

HT2225 - A Selective Literacy
There are so many photographers, so many books, so many exhibitions, that it's virtually impossible to achieve anything even close to visual literacy in photography. Instead, we each have our own understanding of photography based on a fractional appreciation of what's being and been produced. We all love photography, but what we mean by that is entirely dependent on our own selective literacy.

HT2224 - Printing Monochrome with a CMYK Press
Most commercial printing presses that you might employ to print your book will use the four-ink process that is the standard in the industry. Simply said, these presses use a combination of cyan ink, magenta ink, yellow ink, and black ink to achieve a sufficient simulation of human color vision. That's where the trouble begins.

HT2223 - The Annual Best Of Series
Because I love reading short stories so much, over the years I've collected a number of anthology books that are "the best short stories of the year." This could be a pretty good idea for our photographs too, don't you think? What were your best images from, say, last year? What makes those images qualify as The Best?

HT2222 - Explore More Deeply
Starting in 2009, I produced a series of annual projects under the title, Winter Trees. Each year for seven years, I produced a new five-image project for the series which was produced as a folio and as a PDF. To date, this remains one of the most difficult projects I've ever done for the simple reason that each year it became progressively more difficult to see the same subject in a new and different way

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.
