Probably the most frequent question I’m asked about my photography, is “What camera do you use?” For some people it may seem like a logical question to ask, but once they know the answer, then what?! The implication, is that somehow, the camera was responsible for making the photograph, and that anyone else with the […]

“Variations” – My New Exhibit at Multiple Exposures Gallery – May 8th – June 18th
How boring our lives would be if every day, everything looked exactly the same. But in the daily frenzy of life, we rarely slow down enough to truly appreciate the beauty and sheer joy of the “ordinary” that surrounds us. A number of people have asked me about the panoramic photograph that I use at […]
Creating Fine Art Prints
Next Tuesday, March 20th I will be teaching one of my favorite topics – “Creating Fine Art Prints with Your Epson Printer” at Mac Business Solutions (MBS) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This will be a 7-hour class and is an expanded version of the class that I have really enjoyed teaching many times in the last […]
Fairy Circles – Are You KIDDING Me??!!
During my recent trip to Namibia, as we entered the edge of the Namib Desert our very able guide, Elvis Hghumutina from Ultimate Safaris in Windhoek, pointed out some odd, circular areas of soil, interspersed with the yellow-gold vegetation. He said, “Those are fairy circles.” He went on to explain that no one really knew […]
Eastman Kodak – 132 Years of Kodak Moments

Had it not been for Kodak, it is unlikely I would have developed (pun intended) an interest in photography, and I’m sure that’s the case for millions and millions of us. Harvard case studies have been written about Kodak, […]

Not owning the most recent version would have necessitated paying full price […]
My Favorite Photographs from 2011
It is always dangerous to pick your favorite “anything,” especially when it comes to your own photography! I find I often fall in and out of love with individual photographs, especially ones that were recently made. How well photographs stand the test of time is always difficult to know today. Only time will tell! But […]
The 100 Most Influential Photographers of All Time
A number of months ago I wrote a blog entry called, “Staying Motivated … Being Inspired”. I mentioned that to stay motivated, I find that it very helpful to view other artwork, especially photographers whose work I admire. Going to exhibits, gallery openings, and uncovering the thousands of resources on the Internet all provide an […]
Adobe’s New Upgrade Policy
Adobe recently announced a new upgrade policy for its Creative Suite, that includes Photoshop. There will definitely be frustration from many photographers that I know. Not all users of Photoshop have found it necessary or economical to upgrade to the latest, greatest version every time Adobe released a new version. For example, if you owned […]
