Image Values

The Online Photographer (click here) is a stickler for the authentic in photography. He doesn't care about specific cameras, although he has his favorites (note the plural), film or digital (he has done both), but is quite sure about the what he thinks about the results. He is unhappy with 'colorization', as well he should be (check out his Oct 30, 2012 article which correlates well with this discussion).  And yesterday he added a particularly interesting discussion on 'Image Virtues' that might be a motivating event for our readers - or at least something to think about. Your comments after reading would be interesting. I hope to see some.

If you are not a regular reader of The Online Photographer, you should be, or just hang around here and you will see links to his thoughts from time to time.

Street Photography and Publishing

Eric Kim has a site on street photography for those interested in attempting a challenging genre. He has a recent article on Diane Arbus's techniques, whose style is a bit different but quite interesting. Ms. Arbus is not my favorite street photographer, but there is no denying that she had a unique eye and took interesting chances. Eric Kim's suggestions are worthwhile and his site is dedicated to the genre.

Eric also linked to a magazine dedicated to street photography called Radiate Magazine. The actual print version is $15.75 an issue but the digital version is free if you sign up [I did and nothing bad happened :)]. The sign up is via HP MagCloud where anyone can create a magazine - which is something new to think about!

Happy Halloween!

Its about the images, not the tools....
