Oops. Wallpapers Updated.
Vision & Voice goes to press today (yeehaa!), so I’m taking a day off to do other stuff and celebrate with a friend visiting from out of town.So it’s an early weekend for me. And it woulda been an early weekend for you too if you were using the calendar on the wallpaper I posted for this month. I got …
Begin. Again.
San Frutuosso, Liguria, Italy, 2010. Had to strip down to my boxers to get this one. Monday’s post seemed to strike a chord. Perhaps because y’all were so surprised to read a post that had nothing to do with books 🙂 So, harnessing that momentum I want to make some suggestions for those who are suddenly captivated by the need …

Begin.
Camogli, Italy. It’s a stretch to make this image relevant to the sermon below, but these guys know that talking about fishing isn’t going to bring the fish in. Neither is looking at the boat and hoping something happens. Goethe is frequently quoted as saying: Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and …
iPad Wallpapers And More
OK, I admit it, when the iPad was announced it elicited little more than a yawn from me. Then I got one, really just to test the eBooks on them for Craft & Vision. In short, I am an absolute believer. This will change the way we consume media, the way we learn, and the way we share our photography. …
Stuck In Customs Textures
One of the things I love about photography is the wide range of expression it makes possible. Oddly, the board and forums are full of people arguing for the narrowest possible expression – use this gear, don’t do this, don’t do that, and God help you if you even THINK about doing this AND that with the wrong camera. Sheesh. …

It’s Only a Moment, but…
I think one of the things I love most about photography is that it often elevates the mundane. When you stop a moment, and preserve it forever, and take the care to frame it, light it, and chose one moment over another, you effectively tell the world – or anyone who cares enough to look at your work; Look at …
Postcards from Venice, Italy
The last of our Italy Within The Frame team is now leaving in their different directions home and I’ve got a day off before beginning 4 full days of shooting my personal project here. Our last evening began with my friend Marco Ryan and I in a gondola with tripods and cameras and gelled speedlights (and you thought I had …
Postcard from Venice, Italy
Hi from Venice. We arrived here Saturday afternoon to hard light, pressing crowds of tourists, and endless kiosks selling kitsch. As always my own expectations and the reality of the place collided. But we walked, afternoon turned to evening, and slowly the Venice I wanted to shoot emerged. I suspect Venice will be, for me, a place best shot in …
