About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

Pictures made on a rainy and lazy Saturday. Although, in all fairness, it must be stated that the wife was busy as a beaver cutting and laying patio stone in the backyard.

...while photography is often seen as the amplification of something, it is also good at doing the opposite, quietening things and not enhancing them, and then perhaps you want to look at the picture, or study it, more. ~ Stephen Gill

I looked up Stephen Gill on the 'net. There's a good series of photos here:

And a newspaper interview (includes the above quote) is here:

Thanks for the reference, Mark.
