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..

The lousy winter weather continues - light snow last night and today and, true to form, rain in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

If the crappy weather is keeping you indoors, might I suggest the following:

Reading - Joerg Colberg is writing some interesting pieces on photography. You can find 3 such articles here, here, and here. Plenty of food for thought.

Looking - Juha Haataja continues making some very interesting pictures on his evening walks. The pictures are interesting enough that, if doesn't he make a book of some of them, I'm flying to Finland and stealing his hard drive so I can make a book for him (and me). Good stuff.

Thank you for the links. Very interesting.

Mark, thanks! You got me thinking about a book.

But as long as this fine winter weather holds, there is just too much temptation to go out and take photographs instead of engaging in typesetting. But maybe there will be some bad weather some day...
