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.

by the light of the moon

Jeff Wall has opined that there are 2 prominent myths about photography: the myth that it tells the truth and the myth that it doesn't. Another photographer, Allan Sekula, has taken that idea a step further and stated that, in our present ideological climate, these myths do not hold the same weight for intellectuals and media professionals: "... the old myth that photographs tell the truth has succumbed to the new myth that they don't."

Me? I like it both ways and have no trouble whatsoever embracing and seeing both "myths" evidenced in a single picture.

I'm just trying to figure out what a night picture made with the light of a full moon should look like.
