Photography is totally worth it if it triggers someone's ability to be creative and this ability allows this person to contribute to our culture and society.

Save the Children via photography

One of my favorite photographers, Daniel Milnor, is embarking on a special adventure. He is joining Fredric Roberts Photography Workshops, in association with Save the Children, introducing high school students around the world to photography. The first workshop is currently under way in Bhutan. Do read about it in Dan’s Smogranch blog.

W. Eugene Smith

I have always admired Eugene Smith's photography, going back to when it was published in Life magazine. However, I did not know anything about the man until reading yesterday's post in Daniel Milnor's Smogranch blog. If you are serious about your photography, this is a "must" read, to be followed by watching Photography Made Difficult. It kept me up until after 2 a.m. this morning.

People, making portraits is about a relationship. Granted, it could be like a drunken college weekend relationship, one that happened fast, was a bit confusing and left you feeling used, but in most cases they are brief, intense and positive.

On fleshing out a story | Creating a contextual nest

"Sometimes the reader needs a transitional type image to set the stage for your best work. A book of nothing but your best work might be a portfolio more than a book. Books ebb and flow, so informational photographs can be as important as anything. You might use these images near a chapter head to ease into this place, space or community"
