Lightroom

We need to be clear about what Adobe Lightroom is and not. Lightroom is software that lets us organize, edit, and develop a personal style. It’s not where we will see our camera’s best imaging quality.

Compression and Separation

Lens selection is a creative choice made before stepping outside. A 50mm is how a photographer sees; a 35mm is how one thinks, and a 135mm is how one sees and things while driving.

Picture Maker

Analog nudged me into monochrome; digital let me stay there, and offset lithography kept me closer to home.

How it all began

If it hand’t been for West Texas, I probably wouldn’t have dove into monovchromramatic photography. If it hand’t been for school, I probably wouldn’t have dove into monovchromramatic photography. If it hadn’t been for the 1990s, I probably wouldn’t have dove into monovchromramatic photography.

Leave something better than you found it

You don’t have to be anything. Fly to any city in the US to see the same stores, cars, and roads. Too few pictures capture our lived reality.

Eyesore

In saying very little, I stood closer to what I had to say and encountered it before I knew what it was. Brag about eyesores if there’s almost nothing nice to say.

On playing records

I love records. Records are time capsules, and I love records that sound fresh across time and go on to inspire new groundbreaking records.

Multiple Visits

A second visit to Palo Duro Canyon can become an opportunity to see change. We can visit the canyon a hundred times without experiencing two identical trips; for example, sometimes it’s the weather, or we’ll see animal tracks.
