HT2235 - The Life of a Book
There's no doubt there's quite a thrill in having a book of your work published. There are, however, some realities of book publishing that are less comfortable than we'd like them to be. For example, it's a common fate for a book to be eagerly consumed by its new owner and then be relegated to obscurity on a bookshelf, often forgotten.

LW1450 - Ten Myths That Need Busting
In a technical and artistic pursuit like photography, it's not surprising that certain myths have developed over time. One of my favorite quotes is from G. K. Chesterton who said, "It's amazing how many things there are that aren't so."

HT2234 - SIXES in the Field
When I first started playing with the idea of Seeing in SIXES (six image projects), I spent time scouring my Lightroom catalog for candidates and cousins. As my experience has evolved with this idea, I've found that thinking in terms of six image projects in the field has given me an entirely new approach when I'm out with my camera.

HT2233 - A Stunningly Impressive Chapter
A common experience when reading a novel is to find one particular chapter or scene that is the heart of the book. That chapter presents the denouement or the action that has been building during all the previous chapters. Do we then remember that chapter and refer to it in conversation? Or does that chapter elevate the entire book? We recommend the book, not the chapter. The same thing happens with a photography project.

HT2232 - Fifty Pounds of Gear
In my first photographic trip to Japan, rather than take suitcases, I packed everything I needed into my backpack for maximum mobility and foot travel. In those days my comfort limit for my backpack weight was about 70 pounds. With this in mind I packed a maximum of 20-pounds of clothing plus the pack itself, leaving me 50-pounds for gear and film. In my upcoming trip to the West Coast, I'll have a much more capable gear kit that weigh less than three pounds.

HT2231 - Choose Your Challenge
I've often found it useful to divide photography into a set of competing challenges. How do you want to play with photography? Do you want to challenge yourself with the technical complications of making giant prints? That's valid. Or do you want to challenge yourself with the expressive complications of making more meaningful artwork? That's valid, too. And then of course, there are all the variations that combine both of these challenges.

HT2230 - PPI Required for Printing
How many pixels per inch are required for printing? Be careful; this is a trick question. In fact, as I've asked the question it is unanswerable without additional information or blind assumptions. What's the missing/assumed data? What is the viewing distance likely to be?

HT2229 - Software Updates, Image Updates
Here's a question that's both philosophical and practical. When there is a software update that could dramatically improve an image you've already finished, do you go back and update the image because the software allows you to improve it in ways that were previously impossible? Or, do you leave it as is because you are busy doing new work rather than living in the past?
