One of Yours, One of Mine.

In News & Stuff by David

It’s been far too long since I’ve done a giveaway on the blog. What can I say, I got busy and it takes time to beg for free stuff. 🙂 I’ve been wanting to shine the light on my friends at Artistic Photo Canvas again and as the time rolls around for me to do a few more canvases I …

Go to the Writers.

In Creativity and Inspiration, Pep Talks, Vision Is Better by David48 Comments

I’m re-reading a stack of books about the creative process. Anne Lamott, Stephen King, Annie Dillard, Robert McKee, et al. When what I want is to hear about the creative life, I don’t go to photographers – most of them are good with images, lousy with words. Want insight into how this whole creative thing works?

Genova, Italy. 2010. Last week’s posts on putting your ideas into action seemed to really resonate. I posted BEGIN and then BEGIN. AGAIN.

There’s no correlation between creativity …

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 …

iPad Wallpapers And More

In Craft & Vision, e-books, Wallpapers by David35 Comments

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. …
