| 2024-11-20 | HT2082 - Narrowing the Subject There are subjects that lead to short projects, and subjects that lead to lengthy projects. Both kinds of projects have their virtues and their drawbacks. The real problem, however, is when as producers we give our audie... |

| 2024-11-19 | HT2081 - Location Specifics vs Generalities A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to photograph in the famous Ryoan-ji Temple gardens in Kyoto. It was the fulfillment of a life-long dream to photograph there. Curiously enough, that brought me fa... |

| 2024-11-18 | LW1428 - A Firehose of Images Too much of a good thing can lead to a numb response. I was reminded of this while I was looking through a sizable book in the presence of the photographer. After the first 50 images, my attention began to wane. After 100... |

| 2024-11-18 | HT2080 - Photoshop Doubts We photographers have always known that there's a tenuous relationship between photography and truth. Trick photography goes back to the earliest days of the medium. But now, in the age of Photoshop, it's so easy for people t... |

| 2024-11-15 | HT2077 - Substantial Artwork Last year, I was showing some chapbooks to another photographer who commented that they preferred more substantial ways of presenting their work. What an interesting way to think about our work. Substantial? What makes pho... |
|
| 2024-11-14 | HT2076 - It's Been Photographed Before I know photographers who are hesitant to do something that's been done before, but it occurs to me that there is a premise behind that reaction that is not necessarily true. The premise is that the virtue lies in... |

| 2024-11-13 | HT2075 - Questions About Instax I guess I've been hiding under a barrel, but I just this week learned about Fuji Instax printers. I can see them easily becoming a fun gimmick at a party or a social gathering, but I'm wondering if anybody has figured o... |

| 2024-11-12 | HT2074 - Cameras Support Your Creativity, Or Not One thing our annual LensWork community book project has proven beyond any doubt is that, when it comes to publishing anyway, high quality images can be produced with any camera. If that's so, then what... |
