Yearly favorites were harder to choose this past year simply because there weren't many exposures overall. I imagine that's an inherent problem with these yearly favorites posts. It emphasizes product over process in a culture that demands constant output. It can...

Continuing with a tradition that began in 2007, I am once again finalizing some of my favorite images from the past year. I guess you could call this Volume 18. Wow, eighteen years of this stuff.1 Nonetheless, It is a process that forces me to consider which...

Signing photographs
The array of answers is interesting whenever I see the questions regarding signing photographs. In an older podcast by Brooks Jensen on signing prints (LW0025), he asks some probing questions and acknowledges no resolving answers. Even the 'traditional' art...
