| 2025-02-22 | HT2176 - Take a Risk Far too many photographers bury their creativity under a shroud of acceptance. Instead of making personal work that comes from their heart, they make images that they hope will earn applause and accolades. Artmaking can &#8212... |

| 2025-02-17 | HT2171 - Their Life Experience Everyone who looks at our images brings with them a suitcase full of their life experiences. I think it was Anias Nin who said, "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." We need to remember this when pe... |
