A Good Problem

Well, if you’ve been trying to get to Camera Position over the last few days and have had a hard time, join the crowd. It seems that the Podcast became popular enough that I was running my web server’s bandwidth allotment dry. That reached a head last night when the server shut down.

I think I’ve got it all sorted now, and a new podcast is on the way in a day or two, so thanks for hanging in there!

Camera Position 31 : Editing as Creative Process

How many images does it take to say what you want to say? Editing your work to create a group of images that projects a coherent voice is an important part of the photographic process. Honest and unmerciful editors have the most effective stories.

Camera Position 30 : After The Shutter Closes

Once we get back to the darkroom-digital or chemical-how do we maximize the vision and idea we had when we were in the field making the photograph? We explore the post-production side of the creative process using a photograph of Civita di Bagnoreggio.
