“You are looking at an illuminated screen, it’s a new viewing experience, although it’s like a medieval stained glass also, the light coming through the image makes it a little jewel.” Joel Sternfeld There is nothing “wrong” with a screen as the final output… BUT As good as images are…

Learning - Larry Fink on Composition and Improvisation
2020-11-14 19:05:19 UTC
I have talked about my love for prints and books previously. In these difficult times, a couple of workshops I have had in mind haven’t been possible and so I have looked to other methods of learning. There have been some really good live webinars around, including with Joe McNally…

Landscape Photography - still learning!
2018-04-29 21:56:00 UTC
The learning curve is steep, but I am really enjoying trying something different. The big difference with my landscape photographs is that I “went there” to take photos, almost all of my other photography is opportunist, I was there (or close enough) anyway. Generally it’s really relaxing, normally a nice…
