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.

diptych # 28 ~ city mouse, country mouse

Deep Stationary / Arnold's ~ Queens, NY / Keeseville, NY (in the Adirondack Park) • click to embiggenFYI, an Aesop Fable The City Mouse and The Country Mouse

Making pictures is a very simple act. There is no great secret in photography...schools are a bunch of crap. You just need practice and application of what you've learned. My absolute conviction is that if you are working reasonably well the only important thing is to keep shooting ... [K]eep working, because as you go through the process of working things begin to happen. ~ Elliott Erwitt

PS. anyone have any idea what the hell "deep stationary" is?

The Erwitt quote was a good one! It can be said about any profession or art I guess. Schools will only teach you conformity and dogmas anyway. That said, for every self made man who made it there are thousands who didn't.
