Photography, Photo Education, For Teachers and Learners.

More than thirty years of teaching photography and art should have taught me a few things.

A good teacher is also a good student. I may have interesting images and thoughts to share

Visiting old friends

Looking at old prints in my portfolios is like visiting old friends. These visits sometimes inspire variations of the same image. The picture of the lily's is inspired by a similar picture I took more than thirty years ago.

The picture of the leaf is an attempt to give the concept of fall with out making an image that is literal. I always try to leave room for the viewer to interact with the image in some small way.

Working with still life as art allows me to take time reflect and contemplate the photo as art. The feathers and box create visual contradiction and still allow for aesthetic considerations.
