don’t think

You mustn’t want, you must be receptive; don’t think, even, the brain’s a bit dangerous. Sensitivity is the flavor of moments. Henri Cartier-Bresson

All photographs demarcate their own period in time. You must not disregard the first image you ever made for future photographs. Every image you have made is relevant and important in your development. You must also remember that, as in life, the choices you make will determine your future as a photographer. Every decision you make-from…

I picked the location, I picked the lighting and time of day, I picked the aperture and the shutter speed, I picked the models (although I did have to settle for one style element that was not as I had wanted it. I had just emerged from…

.why I heart Instagram

 

I am in love with this app called Instagram. It’s got a bad rap for breaking your phone images down into goo with hardly any information left. However, I’ve made a book of all Instagram images from our staycation on the boat last summer because I took so many fun images with my iPhone. I only pulled out the SLR for special visits to “Big Kid Beach,” when we sailed to Catalina and to greet the Polynesian Outriggers coming…
