Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“You are your own first and most important audience. That’s how you please your audience. By making your art for you.<\/em>” — David DuChemin<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘\u201c[He] encouraged me to let myself go, not hold anything back, try everything,\u201d she recalled<\/em>‘ — Helen Frankenthaler<\/strong> in praise of Paul Feely her mentor to Julia Brown, Guggenheim curator<\/p>\n

\u201cLife rarely presents fully finished photographs. An image evolves, often from a single strand of visual interest \u2013 a distant horizon, a moment of light, a held expression.<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Sam Abell<\/p>\n

Photoessays\/Bodies of Work<\/strong>
\n– Street photography from 1838-2019<\/a> 20 minute video slide show. Very international, with one image per year.
\n– Volcano<\/a>
\n– Life in rural Mexico: A love story<\/a>
\n– Fascinating flower portraits<\/a>
\n– From a graveyard to community conversation<\/a> This is a very enlightening and interesting story of a Georgia community “Re-seeing” itself. Excerpt: “By installing my portrait banners in a community\u2019s built environment, I have a chance to symbolically disrupt the power structure \u2013 the hierarchy of public visibility \u2013 that has come to define that community.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Post-processing<\/strong>
\n– Retouching a portrait in LR<\/a> He shows some presets in LR that I didn’t know were there using”Teeth Whitening” as an example. The presets are not in Camera Raw, but you can still get the same results manually.
\n– Making smooth selections<\/a> Also explains the “Minimum” filter which can be really helpful.<\/p>\n

Field\/Studio<\/strong>
\n– Macro photography with a white background<\/a> This is the “Meet Your Neighbors” program about getting to know the critters in your neighborhood. It also produces some neat images.<\/p>\n

Miscellany<\/strong>
\n– Fake Nikon batteries<\/a>
\n– Future of photography<\/a> This is not a technical analysis, more theoretical and from the “art” side.<\/p>\n

Was in Pittsburgh this weekend with the Baltimore Camera Club. The city has a very interesting history.<\/p>\n

These chimneys were from the steel furnaces used to heat huge billets of steel before they were modified.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

There are two functioning “inclines” that carry people down the steep cliffs to the riverside. The two cars were going in opposite directions as they passed each other.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

There is a really nice park called “The Point State Park” on a spit of land projecting into the river. You can see an incline in the background. People run, bike, skateboard and scooter along the river.<\/p><\/div>\n
