HT2081 - Location Specifics vs Generalities

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/11/19

HT2081 - Location Specifics vs GeneralitiesA couple of years ago I had the opportunity to photograph in the famous Ryoan-ji Temple gardens in Kyoto. It was the fulfillment of a life-long dream to photograph there. Curiously enough, that brought me face to face with a fundamental decision: Do I make a project about the Ryoan-ji gardens or use those images to make a project about Japanese gardens in general?

LW1428 - A Firehose of Images Too much of a good thing can lead to a numb response. I was reminded of this while I was looking through a sizable book in the presence of the photographer. After the first 50 images, my attention began to wane. After 100 images, I was numb.

HT2080 - Photoshop Doubts We photographers have always known that there's a tenuous relationship between photography and truth. Trick photography goes back to the earliest days of the medium. But now, in the age of Photoshop, it's so easy for people to assume that the spectacular thing we've captured with our cameras is a Photoshop fake.

HT2079 - Where You Live There is landscape photography, urbanscape photography, and more. Why not "homescapes" that use everyday life at home to create an environmental portrait that doesn't need to include people. Not "House Beautiful," but rather House Lived In.

HT2078 - From Where You Sit So many times, the process of photographing involves moving to location or a position where you can see a lovely scene and composition. Since I've had problems with my back these last few years, my mobility has been compromised. I can't hike or backpack the way I used to. My most frequent way of photographing these days is from the driver's seat in the truck or at a short distance. The funny thing is, I've never been so productive in my life. It's amazing how many

HT2077 - Substantial ArtworkLast year, I was showing some chapbooks to another photographer who commented that they preferred more substantial ways of presenting their work. What an interesting way to think about our work. Substantial? What makes photography more or less substantial?

2024/11/14

HT2076 - It's Been Photographed BeforeI know photographers who are hesitant to do something that's been done before, but it occurs to me that there is a premise behind that reaction that is not necessarily true. The premise is that the virtue lies in the subject itself, not in the experience had.

HT2075 - Questions About InstaxI guess I've been hiding under a barrel, but I just this week learned about Fuji Instax printers. I can see them easily becoming a fun gimmick at a party or a social gathering, but I'm wondering if anybody has figured out how to use this medium for more serious artwork. Any ideas?

HT2074 - Cameras Support Your Creativity, Or NotOne thing our annual LensWork community book project has proven beyond any doubt is that, when it comes to publishing anyway, high quality images can be produced with any camera. If that's so, then what criteria should we use when selecting our tools?

HT2073 - Done Is Not Always Concluded Most often, we are drawn to photograph those subjects we are passionate about. Once we've had the exhibition, published the book, posted the web gallery, that doesn't mean our passion for the subject ends; we keep photographing. What do we do with these post-publishing images? Thank goodness for second editions, and Volume II.

LW1427 - Art That Uses Photographs

2024/11/11

LW1427 - Art That Uses Photographs In recent years, at least for my own work, I've come more and more to realize the difference between "photographic art" and, a quite different thing, "art that uses photographs." Rarely now do I find that a processed and printed image is the end of the process. More frequently that's just the beginning phases of a piece of artwork that combines photography with other ideas and materials.

HT2072 - Time For It to Marinate

2024/11/10

HT2072 - Time For It to Marinate Instagram seems to have taken over the world of photography. I don't participate via Instagram because I believe it's important that images have an opportunity to mature, for us to think about them a little bit, for their meaning and metaphors to ripen. The idea of instantly posting an image just captured seems to serve a mentality that I don't agree with. The art life is not so trivial.

HT2070 - Advice On a Great Place to GoMy experience with other photographers has been that they are generous and kind. They're always willing to give me helpful advice of where to go photographing. That advice, however, is typically the result of their having made successful images there. But the kinds of images I make, or want to make, might be entirely different than theirs. The same can be said about when to go.

HT2069 - The Composed Background

2024/11/07

HT2069 - The Composed BackgroundIn every picture there exists a foreground and a background. To be more precise about this, there are the things you want your viewer to see, and there is the context against which the subject is seen. Our primary task in composing and processing is to direct the viewer to what we want them to see. The background/context has an incredibly important role in this. The best photographers compose the background as much as they possibly can.

HT2067 - Brevity Is the Soul I know that Shakespeare was talking about the soul of wit, but I've come to conclude it is the soul of photography, too. At least it can be. How often do you look at a book or a project and wish there was more? As compare to, how many times to you find yourself looking at a project or a book and feeling like it is getting too long or repetitive?

HT2066 - Way to Go, God My friend Joe Lipka (who is a lifelong practicing Catholic) will often set up his tripod to capture a beautiful landscape with the words, "Way to go, God!" I've come to recognize this as a type of photography. No one would ever think this about a novel, a piece of music, a poem, or sculpture.

LW1426 - More Captures, or More Artwork I'm of the school of thought that when you've clicked the shutter and made another capture, you haven't made artwork, yet. So what will you do with this precious day, evening, hour? Do you need more captures? Or, would your time be better spent making a print or some other finished piece of art?

HT2065 - The Forgotten Ones Buried in your Lightroom catalog are tons of images that deserve deeper attention. I have no doubt about this. I have faith that each time you click the shutter you do so because there was something that connected with you. That is, you've never clicked the shutter on a purposeful loser. Those potential images in your catalog have simply slipped out of mind. All previous episodes of our daily Here's a Thought . . ." commentaries are available to members of LensWork
