Eye contact matters

Can I just say kudos to The Late Late Show with James Corden for a brilliant solution to the annoying off-axis, lost eye contact that happens on video interviews!We humans don't know where to look; we should look in the camera, or at least not downward at a screen just staring at the other person.......

Sometimes Creative Work Feels Like This…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTRONlXOEtw You spend a bit of time out in the open air, and it belongs to you: wide open spaces of creativity and experiments. No responsibilities or destination, no demands. And then everything rolls in with little warning, and you become overwhelmed at the majesty and insistence and speed of it all. And all you...

Pointing (Cameras) At Things

That's what photographers do, right? At a most basic level, in hopes of pointing out things. Sure, there are all the technical skills that make your image better, or coherent. Plus a basic understanding of composition, somewhat steady hand, the literal ability to focus -- if you aren't doing avant garde shapes on purpose. But... Continue Reading →

So for reasons, I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. And... Continue Reading →

Hello, Snacking Shelled Fellow

I was having dinner with friends and they have turtles in the backyard. No, they have tortoises, because turtles tend to water and tortoises are land dwellers. Apparently they like snacking on hibiscus flowers, so my daughter laid a path to draw them out of their nest area. https://youtu.be/a0JA0sejhgk Being the photographer always looking for...

Love Makes The World Go Round

AKA Round things I saw while walking around. It's the wife's birthday, which circles back every year. This week we were making loops around the Phoenix Art Museum and a mall at the Biltmore. And it occurs to me how much human beings like round things like Mickey Mouse's ears and scoops of ice cream... Continue Reading →
