Let's talk about why I use the Alan Gordon viewfinder for photos and video
This is a podcast about a viewfinder that I use to help compose my videos and photographs. It comes in very handy a little bit more expensive than I like [but don't buy the cheaper ones on Amazon] hopefully you will get some useful information out of this podcast.
Do we ever really look at someone else's photography?
Recently, I brought a book to a group gathering of photographers. How they looked at the book, and what topics came up after that was rather interesting. I had asked myself, did they really care, or are we just living in our own world that includes a lot of post editing.
A photography epiphany; why I've given up printing
Many of us who have been in photography a long time have printed our images. We did this either via the darkroom or within the last 10 years by our computer. I decided to give up on printing and begin to focus on other ways to present my work. It's been an evolution, and sometimes a revolution but I am now moving on.
Are composites real photographs?
Well I give you a couple of thoughts that I have on whether composites should be identified as such and even included in your local camera competition.

Long projects, short projects, what's the best
As many of you know, I am an advocate of doing projects for photography. One-off images just don't excite me. Consequently, I've been listening to a few YouTube commentators [Dan Milnor, Brooks Jensen] and give you my thoughts on what approach might be best.
I suggest you follow Dan Milnor on YouTube he is extremely good and very accomplished and experienced. I have learned a lot. Also, Brooks Jensen can be found online also and he is also very good.
