HT2124 - Montage
In 2016, we launched the idea of six-image projects we called Seeing in SIXES. We presented them in book format with one image per page in a six-page sequence. A variation of that idea has intrigued me of late. Why not place six images into a montage layout on a single sheet of paper?

HT2123 - Over and Over and Over Leads to Boredom
We all appreciate an amazing and wonderful photograph. We strive to produce them and collect them. If we are lucky and productive, we may someday produce a book of our very best. Here is my odd observation about a book filled with all breathtaking images: I get bored very quickly with winner after winner.

HT2122 - A Picture OF, or a Picture ABOUT
From time to time, someone will ask me a definition for the term "fine art photography." It's a difficult question. I often find it useful, however, to divide the images I see into pictures that are of something and pictures that are about something. The ones about something seem to my mind to be closer to art than the pictures that are just showing us what something looks like.

HT2121 - Failure to Launch
From time to time someone will recommend a book, a song, an artist, a singer who touches their soul deeply. I take a look, read a couple of chapters, listen to a song or two — and totally fail to connect with the recommended art. I don't know how to think about this. Am I insensitive? Am I resistant? Should I try harder? Feel guilty? Apologize? What is the best response when someone's masterpiece bounces off us leaving nothing behind in its wake?

HT2120 - Identification Is Not the Same As Understanding
In my teenage years when I was so interested in protozoology and the world I could see in the microscope, I spent the majority of my time trying to identify what I was seeing. Naming creatures was paramount to me. Looking back on this, however, I realize that naming them was shallow knowledge compared to observing their behavior. In photography, photographing a thing is not as meaningful as photographing the thing and its relationships to the world.

HT2119 - Night Photography
As I went to bed last night, I noticed outside my bedroom window a very sizable icicle being illuminated by the lights from our deck. The icicle was seen against a night black background. It was gorgeous. I grabbed my camera and quickly photographed it before jumping into bed. As I was drifting to sleep I found myself not thinking of icicles but rather about night photography.

HT2118 - Seasonal Artwork
I have a friend that changes her bath towels, dish towels, and napkins to match the season. Interestingly enough, however, that seasonal sensitivity does not motivate her to change the artwork on her walls. Why? Could it be as simple as the fact that matting and framing artwork is so cumbersome? Perhaps poster hangers might help!
