HT2144 - The Chosen One When I developed the idea of folios and started producing them in 1990s, I experienced a most unexpected bit of feedback. With almost perfect statistical distribution, each image in a folio would become someone's favorite. At first I thought this was a curiosity, but I've come to realize it's more significant than that.…

HT2143 - Truth Photography has, for very dubious reasons, established itself as a truthful medium. Photographs can be used as evidence, and its objectivity is legend. But of course we photographers know that photography can easily be untrue, too. As an art medium, do we care? Don't we all know that all other media of art are fictions? Do any of us …

HT2142 - Increasing Your Odds of a Sharp Image with a Slow Shutter Speed I love simple solutions to pesky problems. One of the odd advantages of digital photography is that we can capture as many images as we want and then discard the bad ones later. We don't have to worry about the cost of film and processing like we did in the old days. This open…

HT2139 - Lost Glory I've been revisiting the work of some of my photographic heroes. This is the work I loved, cherished and emulated in my youth. Lots of that work (and some of those masters) have not aged well. It's clear to me with the passage of time that they and their photographs were a product of their times. By today's standard, their accom…

HT2138 - Three Cameras Are Better Than One Before I went to China for the first time in 2009, I developed a deep-seated fear that I would discover my camera was broken and that my trip to that far off land would result in no photographs. To reduce that risk, I purchased a second camera, thus beginning my two-camera strategy. More recently, I've add…

LW1437 - It Takes Time So much in photography these days takes place at breakneck speed. I'm not sure that's a good thing. Think of how many hours it takes for a pianist to be prepared for performance. Think how many hours it takes a poet to get each word and phrase just right. Why do we photographers think we can snap a picture and upload it to In…
