The Anatomy of Grey
A lot of today’s black and white images seem to be missing some of the subtle mid greys that I love so much. more
Morality and Realism in Photography
To a photographic artist, the insistence on dogmatic adherence to the tenets of photojournalism is especially confounding. There is no reason to judge a photograph not intended to serve an evidentiary purpose based on the very thing it is not meant to be. more
