    No Uninteresting Things

    Abandoned Building at the Old Sugar Factory in Loveland

    “My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things.” – Jerry Uelsmann

    The Christmas Wreath

    Wreath and Barn

    I noticed this red barn while driving back into town and had to stop. No place to pull over so I parked half way in the ditch and half way on the road. It was only after I did my post processing that I noticed the wreath over the door. The wreath now speaks louder to me than the barn. If we really study our images it may be enlightening to see how much is really in the image and what we subconsciously really saw.

    Gate 46

    ..If you get an opportunity in photography you have to grab it – they don’t come along that often. When you get the chance of a great picture, you have to identify that quickly and make the most of the situation. Whatever age you are you can do that. Even with luck, you will still have to press the shutter at the right time. You need good reflexes and you need to be fit. 

    John Giles

    As photographers we are always observing how the light falls on our subjects. When I pulled out my camera and took three images it was a mix of interests. The woman’s focus, how the light was hitting her, the billboard, the gate number, all played into the making of this image. There was also a need to hold my camera in my hand and press the shutter to grab the moment.

    Woke to a temperature of 16 degrees at 6:00 am. Now up to 20 degrees but awesome to see the sun shining. Have a good Sunday.

    Seeing as a Child

    Something’s Missing

    “It is part of the photographer’s job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveller who enters a strange country.” – Bill Brandt

    I do need to be more of a child when experiencing this world of ours.
