The Photographer's Journal


This section is my “photographer's journal.” There are a few different sections, based mostly on length and intent. The “Journal Entries” are blogs and might contain almost anything. Hopefully the titles will be at least a little descriptive. “How-To's” are just what they sound like, usually fairly short, and likely to contain pictures or illustrations. “White Papers” tend to be longer articles, more than a page if you print them. They address some specific concept, though that may be practical, philosophical, or whatever. In any case, these are my musings — I hope you enjoy them!

A word about pronouns: I use the masculine pronouns (“he,” “him,” “his”) throughout these writings merely out of convenience and adherence to (possibly outmoded) grammatical rules. Unless referring to a specific individual, it is always intended to include members of both sexes equally. There is no justifiable reason for sexism in our industry or society.
