HT2365 - Art, an Assertion or an Observation?

2025/08/30

HT2365 - Art, an Assertion or an Observation? When you make art, is it an assertion of your fundamental beliefs and philosophies about life? Or, are you a third party observer who simply shares what you've seen with others through your art? In other words, does your art say, "This is who I am" or does it say "This is what I've seen." link to my BVJ Arts logo Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

HT2364 - The Myth of Accurate Color

2025/08/29

HT2364 - The Myth of Accurate Color When it comes to photography, what does it mean to have accurate color? Doesn't the very concept of accurate color deny the fact that we humans see color differently, that color is a subjective sensation. Accurate color is not the same as emotional color. This way of thinking implies a new approach to color balance and color mixing. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

HT2363 - Niagara Falls, Land of SelfiesThe waterfalls were impressive, but from what I could see, most of the people were even more impressed by, well, themselves. I saw very few people taking pictures of this nature's wonder, but almost everyone was taking selfies. Is this a cultural phenomenon? A psychological phenomenon? Or, a technological one?

HT2362 - Niagara Falls, Which Essence?

HT2362 - Niagara Falls, Which Essence?I said on this trip I was going to attempt an experiment to see in sixes as often as I could. My first opportunity was at Niagara Falls. I started with a simple question: What is the essence of this experience? Surprisingly, it wasn't the rushing waters that plunge off the cliff. Instead, the overriding experience was the mist that rose from the chaos. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation

HT2361 - All Dressed Up and Ready to DanceHere on the first day of my 2-month travel adventure, I had a chance to stop at the Fenimore Museum in Cooperstown, New York for a second look at the Peter Federman show, The Power of Photography. I couldn't put my finger on what made some of these images so special, but they definitely are. The thought I kept circling back to was James Bond in a tuxedo.

LW1468 - There the Prints Set, Gathering Dust Because of my early training and the generation into which I was born, I'm still a print guy and think of my prints as the most desirable format for my work. That said, every time I look at my boxes of finished prints, sitting on the shelf, gathering dust, I come face to face with the reality of the advantages of the digital world in which we live.

HT2360 - Seeing in SIXES, Road Edition Road trips always require a lot of planning. There are routes to be determined, gear to sort out, and reservations that need to be made. Notice anything missing? No, it's not a determination of subjects to be photographed, but rather a plan on how to photograph. Are we on the search for those fantastic shots? Simply gathering assets? Perhaps there's another experimental strategy that's worth considering. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and

I'll be traveling across the country from New York to my old stomping grounds in Oregon and back. Along the way I'll be giving a talk in Portland to the Photographic Society of America and then participating in the Horizons workshop in Durango Colorado.

HT2357 - What More Do I Need? In the back of my brain is an ever present nagging desire to go shopping for more gear. It's irrational, it's reflexive, it's ridiculous. Trying to think about this more deeply, I realize I already have everything I could possibly need for any picture I can imagine I might want to make. I find this ever so slightly intimidating.

Is this true for photography, too? And if so, how do we practice photography? Perhaps Yoda had the best answer, "There is no try, there is only do."

HT2354 - Planning vs the UnexpectedI rarely find success when I plan a picture idea, especially when I do so to a fine degree of control. More often than not, it's the unexpected that produces the best opportunities. I remember once pulling the car over on a long dirt road to photograph a juniper tree and some foreground sagebrush. As I approached, however, it was the perfectly preserved and thoroughly unexpected coyote skeleton that became the photograph I treasured. Show your appreciation for

LW1467 - Five Things I Wish I'd Learned Earlier Being a photographer means learning things that will help us grow as an artist. During my first decades, that learning was narrowly focused on the technical aspects of image making. Looking back on those years, I can't help but thinking that I missed so much of the truly important aspects of being an artist. I now wonder how my photography would have progressed if someone has shared with me some of the deeper aspects of being an artist. Then again,

HT2353 - Famous for One One of Cherie Heiser's most poignant observations about photography was that photographers make thousands of negatives, hundreds of prints, exhibit a dozen or two, sell even fewer and are famous for one. I couldn't help but think about this as I wandered through the recent exhibition at the Fenimore Museum.

HT2352 - Relationship with the ArtistOver the decades, I've met and talked with a lot of people who collect artwork and photography in particular. One characteristic of collecting that I've noticed with almost universal consistency is that people have work because of their connection with the artist. Obviously, there are exceptions, but it's amazing how frequently I hear acquisition stories that involve knowing the artist in one capacity or another. Show your appreciation for our free weekly

As much as I want to believe this, my experience tells me that sometimes that connection is simply impossible.

HT2350 - Execution and Content

2025/08/15

HT2350 - Execution and Content When I look at artwork, it often involves two different types of response. I can admire a work of art because of its amazing execution, or I may admire a work of art for its emotive content. Execution involves a wonderment about how the artist did it. Content involves a dialog about why they did it. I've learned that I can't process both of these ways of thinking simultaneously.

HT2349 - Photography Under Glass I mentioned the other day that I had visited the Fenimore Museum near Cooperstown, New York. One thing that struck me as I wandering through the museum was that there was only one medium that was protected under glass — photographs. Also on display were paintings, sketches, etchings, prints of many varieties of media, but only the photographs were framed under glass. Is there a reason for this, or is it simply convention? This, in fact, was the topic of my very

HT2348 - Photography Is a Personal ThingOne of the most interesting photography books I've seen in a long time is by gallery owner Peter Fetterman and is titled The Power of Photography. Part of the reason this book is so special is that it is so personal. Federman reviews 120 images from his collection and tells us about it, not from its historic point of view but rather from his personal point of view. It reminds me that every picture is a story, every picture has a story, and every story is a
