I felt that both the blog and my photography were getting repetitive, so I decided to take a &#8220;creative hiatus.&#8221;  I may restart it but probably on a monthly rather than weekly frequency.<\/p>\n<p>I have worked on two books in the interim.  The &#8220;Marsh Speaks in Metaphor&#8221; is a book of poetry and landscape images, all taken at North Point State Park in Baltimore. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O2siTqJqX0w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ted Forbes did a recent review of the book on the Art of Photography<\/a> at 3:53 minutes into the blog and referenced my blog as a contact point.  If you are interested in purchasing a copy you can contact me at richard.eskin@gmail.com.  The book is $20 and I can only accept checks.  I have sold some of them through the Ivy Bookshop on Falls Road and will contact them again to see if they might be interested in additional copies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Photoessays\/Bodies of Work<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/view.flodesk.com\/emails\/63068d01963aa36f1e366e6e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8212; From Andrew Simonet: Artist U Workshops<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Post-Processing<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalphotopro.com\/technique\/software-technique\/sharpen-images-by-blurring-yes-blurring-them-in-photoshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8212; Sharpening by blurring<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quotes &#8220;The best street photography focuses our attention on what we have trained ourselves to ignore.&#8221; &#8212; Margaret Renkl, NY Times Guest Essay &#8220;Baldwin Lee Is One of Those Artists Who Teach Us to See,&#8221; October 31, 2022 &#8220;You were &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/?p=8758\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-links-and-quotes"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8lcUy-2hg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8758"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8906,"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8758\/revisions\/8906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
