If you find something, you haven’t looked hard enough

Let's take on the impossible!

Person - Camera - Person
What makes a good portrait, and how is a portrait created? As the person behind the camera, how do I influence my subject, and to what extent does the person whose essence and uniqueness I’m trying to capture shape the image through their facial expressions, poses, body language, and clothing? What do I allow to happen, and what do I create: closeness, distance, staging, or spontaneity? What surprises me while I’m taking photos, and how intuitively can I respond to it?…

Serendipity Days 4 - Comparisons
We draw a lot—alone and together—and in the process, we inadvertently learn essential things: concentration, losing oneself in the moment, thinking outside the box, recognizing beauty and its opposite, omitting details, making mistakes, accepting mistakes, humor, wisdom, storytelling, composition, and techniques. All of these are prerequisites for good pictures and stories. And for a good life …

High-Pressure Printing – Linocut & Just About Anything You Can Print or Stamp

As a visual art technique, collage is not new, but it is uniquely capable of responding analogously to the flood of images in the digital age, whether two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
