– Corona virus do’s and don’ts for photographers
Quotes
“Fortune favors the prepared mind and all that. I might take minutes in a location or [I might take] days. It depends on what I find and connect with. In my humble opinion, there’s no one right way to photograph anything.” — Michael Kenna, Digital PhotoPro, March 17, 2020
“I generally prefer suggestion over description, black and white over color and winter over summer.” — Michael Kenna
“For me, the most important thing about a photographic project is creating links between the photographs without forcing their connection. I want to suggest a whole but leave room for the viewer to create their own meaning.” — Alec Soth

Stuck in like everyone else, I photographed this Carolina wren from my back window. The tree has a feeder that attracts the birds.
Female cardinal. Both images taken with a Sigma 150-600 resting on a bean bag.
Really lovely bird pix, Rich. Hope you, Martha and Josh are all staying well in spite of corona!
Thanks Marie. Good to hear from you! I hope you and Jeff are healthy and safe as well!
