    I Didn't Know That Was the Last Photograph | WM-584

    I was getting ready to leave and head back home when I decided I wanted a picture with my dad. Neither of us was feeling particularly well at the time. We were both having health issues, we hadn't fixed our hair, and neither one of us was exactly ready for a photograph. None of that seemed important enough to stop me. I just said something like, "Hey, let's smile and take a selfie." So we did...

    When My Taste Changes Before My Photography Does | WM-583

    Every so often, I come across a photograph that I know I wouldn't have cared much about years ago. Nothing dramatic is happening. The light may not be spectacular. There may not even be an obvious subject, as I once expected a photograph to have one. And yet I keep looking at it. That has been happening to me more often lately...

    What Could I Photograph in Twenty Minutes? | WM-582

    Twenty minutes doesn't sound like enough time to do much with a camera. At least, that's usually how I've thought about it. When I imagine going out to photograph, I tend to think in larger blocks of time. A morning somewhere. An afternoon drive. A few hours when I can wander around, wait for the light, change direction, and see what turns up. But recently I started wondering how many twenty-minute stretches I've let slip by simply because they didn't seem long enough to count...

    The People Who Never Say Anything | WM-581

    Every so often, someone mentions one of my photographs and catches me completely off guard. Not because I don't remember the photograph, but because I didn't know they had seen it. That happened recently. Someone told me they had enjoyed a photograph I used with an article. I thanked them, and then it hit me that I had no idea they followed my work at all. There had been no comment, no email, no message, nothing that told me they were reading or looking. As far as I knew, they weren't there. But they were...

    One Photograph Can't Tell the Whole Story

    Suppose someone found one photograph of mine and knew nothing else about me. What would that single image tell them?

    For Five Days, I Thought I Found a Loophole

    This was my perspective earlier this week. I found myself on the crow's nest floor with my feet up, trying to figure out what to do next. To explain how I ended up there, I have to go back several months...

    Was Her Dress White?

    I recently attended a wedding as a guest, and afterward I had a chance to look through some of the photographs taken by the wedding photographer. One detail kept pulling my attention away from everything else. The bride's dress didn't look white. It had a tan cast, almost as if a light sepia tone had been applied to the image. Maybe that was part of the photographer's style. Some photographers like warm skin tones, softened greens, faded shadows, and a vintage look. I understand that. We all make choices that shape the way our photographs look. But I kept coming back to the dress because I remembered it differently. I remembered it as white...

    The Things I Keep Walking Past

    After all these years of photography, I know what will make me stop. A beautiful sunset can do it. So can wildlife, a waterfall, an old building, an interesting street, or a moment that suddenly comes together in front of me. Sometimes it's the light more than the subject. I can be driving somewhere and notice the way late afternoon light is hitting a field or the side of a building, and immediately I start wondering whether there's a photograph there. That's what experience does. The more we photograph, the faster we become at recognizing the things that interest us. But recently I started wondering about something I hadn't really considered before. What have I become good at walking past? That question caught me off guard because I've always thought of experience as something that helps me see more. After decades with a camera, I notice light differently. I pay attention to backgrounds, angles, colors, expressions, weather, and small changes in a scene that someone without a camera may never think about. Still, there has to be another side to that. If I've spent years learning what catches my eye, then I've probably spent just as many years deciding, often without realizing it, what doesn't. Think about all the things we see during an ordinary day. Parking lots. Shopping carts. Utility poles. Hospital hallways. Gas stations. Store windows. Empty chairs. Driveways. Road signs. Someone's hands while they're working. A coffee cup left on a table after the person has gone. Most of the time, I wouldn't think about taking my camera out for any of those things. I'd just keep walking...
