Indeed, prints make all the difference. It is odd to think how many people today, even those who count themselves as photographers, rarely make or see a high quality print.
When I present at the Outdoor Photo Alliance conference in Colorado, we were all asked to bring 10 printed images to share; I love this idea to promote physical prints in this age of digital image consumption! I decided to print this one of the unique rock formations of Roxborough State Park 💚
In an interchange yesterday in the comments on one of my photographs, I noted how significantly a photograph can be changed by the inclusion of even a small human figure. William Dunigan’s Trinidad Beach photograph is a case in point. Cover up that surfer with the tip of your finger and see…

Not the usual things said about B&W photography- how much black, white and gray you should have - but we're going deeper into the psychology and meaning of B&W photography Enjoy! :)

I like this Melissa D Jone night photograph as a photographic image, and also because it eschews the overly PP’ed trend in photographs including the Milky Way.
