What to Photograph ?

I have been asked many times what do I photograph?  Many responses I have heard are, landscapes, animals, flowers, birds, people etc.  What most influences myself is light and the interaction it has on a subject or object whether it is in the studio or outdoors.

Drama in Photography

Gone are the days of loading film, what type of film, color neg, color transparency, or black and white.

SHINOLA- A Watch made in Detroit- USA

Photograph-Don’t wait until the next time!

This has happened to me several times in my travels, around town, downtown and on trips. Seeing an unusual building or something unique.  Maybe you do not have the time, or the light is bad, I can get it tomorrow.  These are the excuses I have used in my mind a number of times, to […]
