HT0948 - Connecting the Dots

One of the reasons I love small projects with multiple images is what happens in the interstices between the images. We fill in information while we connect the dots from picture to picture in our mind's eye. In fact, image selection and sequencing is all about that process that takes place as we connect the images and their content.

HT0947 - Quiet Light

John Sexton used the term "quiet light" as the title of one of his books. It seems the photography world has always been a buzz about the "golden hour" and the "blue hour," but I've always found that the hour just after sunset, the so-called quiet light hour, offers all kinds of interesting illumination that to my mind is far more interesting than the golden hour. Some of that may be due to the long exposures and reciprocity failure with film. But I suspect it's the quiet part that has more to do with a frame of mind.

HT0949 - The Weather

Unless your entire photographic efforts take place indoors, weather will definitely be a factor in your photography.

But when it comes to photography, it's been my experience the days of rapidly changing weather make for the best photography.
