HT1961 - The Poetry in Photography

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/07/22

HT1961 - The Poetry in Photography Of all the artistic and non-artistic media, photography is considered the most objective, factual, documentarian. I think this idea about photography is so widespread that it complicates things for those of us who see photography as visual poetry.

HT1960 - Being Open, Being Receptive Lao Tzu advices us to go with the flow. That doesn't mean give up free will, but it does mean that fighting nature can easily become a losing battle. In photography, that implies using the light as it is, using the subjects that fall in our laps, being receptive to the photographic opportunities before us rather than assume the dictatorial response of trying to bend nature to fit our aesthetic expectations.

HT1959 - The Sequence of EventsI received a comment from a listener that illustrated a very important point for all of us who are art creators. Come to think of it, maybe this applies to almost all of our efforts.

2024/07/19

HT1958 - Working Time Per PrintHow much time do you spend working on a print? I've never timed myself but I wouldn't be surprised to find the average time I spend working on a print is probably less than a half an hour. Compare this to any other art medium. What if novelist spend only a half an hour to bang out their masterpiece? Or painters a half an hour to execute a portrait?

2024/07/17

HT1956 - Finished, But RejectedI remember in my film days being discouraged that I might only get one reasonable image out of a role of 36 exposures. Now that I'm older, I've come to understand a more unexpected statistic — the number of images that I finish that are ultimately rejected.

HT1955 - Just Because You Can Do It

HT1955 - Just Because You Can Do ItPlaying around the other day I stumbled upon a really interesting idea, a new way to present image and text that could be a lot of fun. I've experimented by making a dozen examples and it works! I'm excited because I could see this developing into an entirely new project. Now I've arrived at the difficult part: Just because I can do something doesn't mean that I should.

HT1954 - Critique via F-T-R

2024/07/15

HT1954 - Critique via F-T-R When you look at a photograph, rather than judging whether or not it is a good photograph or a bad photograph, whether you like it or not, whether you think it would look good hanging in your living room, it's much more interesting to ask how you F-T-R — feel, think, and respond. If you were a member of a photo group or workshop, I might suggest this is also a great way to do group critiques.

LW1410 - Artist As Visionary Have you ever looked at a piece of artwork and thought the artist had somehow been mistaken? For example, when you look at a photograph and think it's too dark or too much contrast, is your natural reaction to give it thumbs down? It seems like so much of the art world today has become pushing art makers toward the expected rather than looking at art makers as visionaries with lessons to teach us.

HT1953 - The Spirit of Repetition There is an old Zen saying that when the spirit of repetition leaves you, your work will become difficult. Remembering this wisdom helped me through many hours of washing darkroom trays, spotting prints, and organizing images with keywords in my Lightroom catalog.

HT1952 - Portraits of Doing

2024/07/13

HT1952 - Portraits of DoingI suppose because we are people, we enjoy looking at photographs of people. I have noticed, however, that I'm much more drawn to portraits that show someone doing something rather than showing merely what they look like.

2024/07/12

HT1951 - Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral I remember once attending a lecture on photography (I don't remember who) in which it was suggested that a productive way to think about photographing was a variation on the old animal, vegetable, or mineral game. The variation, he proposed, was to replace animal with things that move, replace vegetable with things that grow, and think of mineral as inorganic stuff. He suggested that photographs that contain all three elements are likely to be more interesting

HT1950 - A Visual Diary ProjectI've never done a visual diary project, but I've seen quite a number of them over the years. There's something fascinating about a daily image combined with commentary of the moment, that creates a personal history. I've always been hesitant to start one because it could go on forever. But it doesn't have to! Why not just a week, 10 days, a month, a season?

2024/07/10

HT1949 - Love of Photography, Love of PhotographsI hope I'm not splitting hairs here, but which do you love more, Photography or Photographs? Photography is a process; photographs are a point of connection and sharing. Understanding this difference about ourselves helps clarify where to focus our activities. For example, I'd much rather spend time looking at, thinking about, and discussing photographs than I would spending time in the darkroom.

HT1948 - Our Youth-Oriented CultureWe live in an age that celebrates the New. Part of that is technology driven, but a lot of it is also a result of our advertising driven media. When it comes to art, it's too bad we don't celebrate wisdom and insight as much as we do the innovative, the new, and the hip.

HT1947 - Two Alternative Presentation Ideas Framing is a classic and terrific way to showcase a photograph, but it can be expensive. Folios are also a great way to showcase a group of photographs, but since I departed on my travel adventure, I haven't had a workspace that allowed me to create folios. Here are two presentation ideas I've recently discovered that have me thinking

LW1409 - Finding That Negative or Digital File Just as a thought experiment, let's imagine that you were in charge of organizing the books in a major public library. What would be the first order of organization? You could organize them all by physical size, or by color, or by page count, but these organizational schemes would not make it very easy to find what you were looking for. The first order of organization is critical for those who might want to find something later. This is the exact same

HT1946 - The Square Format For most of my life I've used rectangular aspect ratios almost exclusively. But there is something fascinating about the square format that's always tugged at my heartstrings. I think I may have figured out one of the characteristics of the square format that is so appealing.

HT1945 - Parallel LightA lot of photography instructors these days talk about "good light" and "bad light," in particular morning light and evening light. It's been my experience that morning light and evening light are great not because of the time of day but rather because of a characteristic I think of as "parallel light."

HT1944 - Different Sources of Illumination The key attribute of travel photography is seeing something new. Seeing something new is the topic for this thought. But travel is difficult, expensive, and takes a lot of time. What if we could invoke that idea of seeing something new by simply changing the source of light? What if we photographed in our home or neighborhood with illumination by candlelight, flashlight, portable video lights, or reflected flash photography? All previous episodes of
