You have to get down, get dirt all over your butt, be there in the traffic. You\u2019ve got to let the dogs come up and sniff you and growl at you \u2013 and you just keep taking those pictures. A camera just puts you in a whole other atmosphere. None of us photographers are like flies on the wall. We\u2019re not. It\u2019s really obvious when a camera is in the room.<\/em>&#8221; &#8212; <strong>Donna Ferrato<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Never have I found the limits of the photographic potential. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold.<\/em>&#8221; &#8212; <strong>W. Eugene Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Photographic technique is no secret and \u2013 provided the interest is there \u2013 easily assimilated. But inspiration comes from the soul and when the Muse isn\u2019t around even the best exposure meter is very little help. In their biographies, artists like Michelangelo, da Vinci and Bach said that their most valuable technique was their ability to inspire themselves. This is true of all artists; the moment there is something to say, there becomes a way to say it.<\/em>&#8221; &#8212; <strong>Ralph Gibson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Photoessays\/Bodies of Work<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plainmagazine.com\/anthony-presley-explores-the-bright-lights-of-tokyo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; The bright lights of Tokyo<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plainmagazine.com\/tom-hegen-swiss-mountain-pass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; Swiss mountain passes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T4uY401IWvc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; Osamu Kanemura&#8217;s Urban Chaos<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/articles\/0645562752\/interview-donna-ferrato-on-50-years-of-photographing-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; Donna Ferrato: 50 years of photographing women<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Post-processing<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Tn36a1WczHs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; Tablets, pens, presssure sensitivity: what you should know<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/f64academy.com\/brush-flow-vs-opacity-photoshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; Flow vs opacity for brushes<\/a>  Also what those three little symbols in the options bar mean.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_IYea3raR5s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; Making difficult selections easy<\/a> Thanks Steve O.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Field\/Studio<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/contrastly.com\/what-is-the-npf-rule-in-astrophotography-and-how-do-you-use-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; In astrophotography the NPF rule is better than the 600 rule<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Miscellany<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thephoblographer.com\/2021\/03\/05\/remembering-the-greatest-female-street-photographer-to-ever-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; The greatest female street photographer ever?<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/newatlas.com\/photography\/black-and-white-minimalist-photography-awards-2020-gallery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8211; Surreal, minimalist, BW:  Contest winners<\/a> Thanks Steve O.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7117\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7117\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1stDaffodil_D75_5700.jpg?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1stDaffodil_D75_5700.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1stDaffodil_D75_5700.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1stDaffodil_D75_5700.jpg?resize=449%2C300&amp;ssl=1 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7117\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First daffodil to bloom this spring.
