“If all your life means to you is water running over rocks, then photograph it, but I want to create something that would not have existed without me." ~ Minor White I recently came across this quote from Minor White that really resonated with me. It puts quite...
This almost became the first winter that I didn't photograph a single landscape. It felt weird - a little bit guilt, a little bit relief. With the very mild El Niño winter, we were teased a lot here in Michigan. We would have multiple 45-50 deg F...
I will admit much of the time I spend in the field is simply looking at things. All sorts of things, even if it is just the ground. Part of it out of a natural curiosity of what there is to see, the other part trying to make some sort of order out of chaos to fit...
