Good morning. It’s Thursday, July 06, and how this week just crept by while I wasn’t looking, I have no idea. But I do have another episode of Vision is Better for you, and with it a chance to win a signed copy of The Soul of the Camera. I hope you’re having a great summer (for those of you …
Kick out the Crutches.
Good morning, friends. Here’s a Monday morning kick in the pants. I’m posting it here for a couple reasons. The first is that it’s Monday morning and we all need a kick in the pants.

Try It In Black & White
Episode 45 of Vision Is Better encourages you to look at your work, even if you have no intention of printing it this way, in Black & White.

Vision Is Better, Episode 36
Good morning, all. I’ve been working for months, on and off, on this YouTube show, Vision Is Better. I’ve linked to it before but I want to embed it here on the blog to give more people a chance to watch it.

It’s the Vision Is Better Show!
Today we launched the Vision Is Better show, a mostly-weekly 10-15 minute video podcast about photography. I’ve pre-recorded the first 6 of them and they’re live now on You Tube and I’m hoping that you’ll do 2 things for me – the first is subscribing. The second is asking questions in the comments. I’m hoping these questions will become the …
