| 2024-12-24 | HT2116 - The World in Two Dimensions There are two realities about photography that are inescapable; photography compresses the world into two dimensions, while simultaneously it shrinks the world into a consumable size. Doesn't this imply an invertin... |

| 2024-12-23 | HT2115 - The First Thing I Do For the most part, I know how I want to use my camera in various situations. For me, the ability to memorize custom settings for different shooting scenarios is an incredibly important tool that I use with almost every ca... |

| 2024-12-23 | LW1433 - If Not Every Day, Then at Least with Regularity Pianist Vladimir Horowitz has said that if he skips practice one day, he knows it. If he skips practice two days, his wife know it. If he skips practice three days, the world know it. I think th... |

| 2024-12-19 | HT2111 - Sometimes, I Miss My View Camera I suspect a lot of you have never used a view camera, but there are certain aspects of the view camera that are just lovely. My pace was slower, which fostered a special moment with each exposure. The isolatio... |

| 2024-12-18 | HT2110 - What Photography Is Like Stieglitz told us that photography is like painting because it belongs in a frame, displayed on a wall. I would propose that the actual content of photography is more like poetry. It's highest use is when the photogra... |

| 2024-12-17 | HT2109 - Everyday Stories So much fine art photography I see these days is about the extraordinary. Spectacular landscapes, exotic locations, beautiful models, extravagant events. Is this an attempt to offset Henry David Thoreau's idea that we live li... |

| 2024-12-16 | LW1432 - Are We Quickly Becoming Anachronistic? I'll be honest, I don't feel like I'm old. When I look at today's trends in photography, however, I can't help but worry about the future for kind of photography I love. And as long as I'm at it, you kid... |
