Convergent vs. Divergent Thinking in Photography
Lewis Phillips |
Even if you’ve shifted your creative process and focus, your past work doesn’t have to be left behind. Sometimes, the old and the new can converge in surprising ways—and that’s a pretty exciting thought for any photographer. more

Andrew Warren |
Whilst Chris photographs in the landscape, and often his images include wildlife, “traditional” landscape and wildlife photography are genres that he doesn’t particularly warm to. more
A Year of Any Questions

Traveling Trees
Robert Hecht |
It all began one misty morning nearly ten years ago, as I meandered on the still-wet sand of Nehalem Bay on the Oregon coast. It was low tide, and as the shroud of fog began to thin, it revealed a long array of brooding, sculptural forms deposited at the farthest edge of the water line. more
The Travelling Landscape Photographers Camera
David Tolcher |
The CFV 100C has a unique solution when hitched to the included 907X camera body. The combination of this, the CFV 100C and the newer tiny (ish) ‘V’ and ‘P’ lenses makes for a very compact and incredibly portable system. more

End frame: The Old Pond by Krister Berg
Bill Ferngren |

Beach Aerials
Theo Bosboom |
Breaking waves are usually not that spectacular from straight up in my opinion. It is often worthwhile, though, when a wave engulfs a rock slab, which can look very graphic from the air. more
Torsten Pull – Portrait of a Photographer
Matt Payne |
Torsten Pull’s work is a reflection of his journey—one that intertwines methodical planning with the spontaneity of light, solitude with exploration, and a return to the natural world that once defined his childhood. more

Michael Faint, Stephen Ely & Charlotte Parkin |
After reading the poem in more depth, I revisited places mentioned in the text to try and understand what Steve was writing about, but also to try and understand what I felt about the places with this new narrative to work with. more
on Moving Back to Analog
Thank You for Your interest in my article. I agree with You that my photography isn't 100% analog process. However, in my opinion there is a lot of sense in doing it like I do. Even after scanning I can see a difference between a film and a digital photo. It [...]

Cheers Len. That was such a lovely few days. Highlight for me was taking you and Tim out on the steamer on a glorious Autumnal afternoon.

Oh please don't become Whiskies n' Views! The beers version of this theme is unwatchably rambling and banal. The idea about discussing specific influential images is interesting but doing it without showing the photos in question is less effective. While having new guests is in general a good thing, few [...]
