What You Think About

Think more creatively, become more creative? It works, I think! Here are some thoughts on how creative thought can make you a better photographer.

Photography Book Giveaway

The perfect geometry and exquisite beauty of nature is nowhere so clear to us as in the snowflake. But how have we been able to appreciate this infinitesimal wonder in all its crystalline glory? This book, as much a work of art as a testament to science, reveals how one of the snowflake’s most inspired photographers came to such intimate knowledge of his craft and its fleeting focus. Beautiful pictures illustrate Kenneth Libbrecht’s story of the microphotography of snow crystals, from the pioneering work of Wilson Bentley in the 1890s right up to Ken’s own innovations in our age of digital images. A breathtaking look at the works of art that melt in an instant, this is a book to page through and savor, season after season.

Creative Control in the Digital Age

The digital age comes with a loss of creative control when it comes to displaying our photographs. These quick thoughts might help you remedy that conundrum!

Free Photography eBooks

These resources will not show you how to become an overnight success as a photographer. Becoming an artist — that takes time, thought and a lot of hard work. What my ebooks will do, however, is help you get started, and I hope that it will also provide you with plenty of food for thought.

This is the most beautiful time of the year to visit West Virginia.

In this day and age, when it seems like almost everything has already been discovered, photography offers you a way to keep on exploring and discovering beautiful new things. It is one thing to go out and look at the world but it is quite another to go out with camera in hand, looking for all the beautiful minutiae that can be turned into beautiful photographs. When you take an interest in photography, you’ll soon find that ordinary, everyday photographs will never do. You’ll need to become an explorer to find the hidden aspects of ordinary subjects and capture them with your camera.
