Up from the Muck

LW0432
Audio MP3 run time 4:10
Posted Fri, 16 Mar 2008

Life is suffering, and it's not our role as artists to deny this. It is, however, our role to rise above it.


Garbage In, Nothing Out

LW0431
Audio MP3 run time 2:54
Posted Thu, 15 May 2008

Perhaps one of the very first steps in the creative life is to surround ourselves with an environment that supports it -- especially the mental environment.


Responding to Art 3 - Symbols

LW0430
Audio MP3 run time 7:12
Posted Fri, 2 May 2008

A foreign language is just noise to our untrained ears -- just like photographs that include foreign symbols and conventions are to an untrained eye/mind. Watch out for the "communication" in your photographs that fails to communicate.


Responding to Art 2 - Mind
and Intellect

LW0429
Audio MP3 run time 8:39
Posted Thu, 1 May 2008

A closer examination of the intellectual response to a photograph.


Responding to Art 1 - Chocolate
Cake and Photography

LW0428
Audio MP3 run time 5:07
Posted Wed, 30 Apr 2008

The general public can so easily relate to so many kinds of art -- like chocolate cake, for example, which is appreciated with a universal "yum." On the other hand, photography, unlike baked sweets, is rarely applauded with such enthusiastic zeal. Why?


Archival Madness 2

LW0427
Audio MP3 run time 4:29
Posted Tue, 29 Apr 2008

The real reason for making archival prints has little to do with time, but a great deal to do with our attitude toward our work.


Archival Madness 1

LW0426
Audio MP3 run time 4:04
Posted Mon, 28 Apr 2008

A perspective on history, 200 years of art and creativity, and the archival properties of our photographs -- with, I should add, a comment on photographic vanity.


Folios 5 - Structure and
Flexibility of Design

LW0425
Audio MP3 run time 6:07
Posted Fri, 25 Apr 2008

The folio paradigm is a creative structure that fosters production and yet allows -- even encourages! -- creative flexibility within that structure. A perfect paradigm for my particular way of working.


Folios 4 - Print Size

LW0424
Audio MP3 run time 9:15
Posted Thu, 24 Mar 2008

Print size, empty magnification, and the experience of viewing a print held in one's hand.


Folios 3 - Relationships

LW0423
Audio MP3 run time 6:59
Posted Wed, 23 Mar 2008

Photography is about relationships - and one of the things I love about folios is the way they create a physical, tactile relationship between the viewer and the print, and even between the photographer and the print.
