Workflow and a Glass of Wine
The other day I was looking back through my archives for some sample images for an article I was writing. As I flipped through old photos, I started thinking about my workflow and about how I select images. It is amazing what you find when you...
Social Media is Not the Boss of Me
These days it seems that more and more photographers are spending endless amounts of time on social media. And recently I felt like I had fallen into that trap! There is too much emphasis put on likes and followers these days? And I think there is an...
My Street Photography Definition
I posted an image a while back, and a viewer told me that it wasn’t “street photography.” When I took the photo, I was living in a small, gulf coast town in Mississippi. Not exactly the big city! I captured the picture at the beach, not in an...

What is your Street Photography Style?
I've been actively enjoying street photography for almost two years now. And as I pursue this challenging genre, I wonder if I have managed to develop my own street photography style, or if this is something I need to work on? Should my images have a...
Silhouettes in Street Photography
I see a little silhouetto of a man. I can't help humming the verse from Queen's 1975 hit, "Bohemian Rhapsody" when I'm shooting silhouettes! Photographing silhouettes is about more than capturing an underexposed figure against a bright background. For a...
Postcards from NYC – 9/11 & Ellis Island
For the last installment of my Postcards from NYC series, I have some images from the 9/11 Memorial and Ellis Island to share with you. Now I live almost 4000 km away from the World Trade Centre site. And I do not know anyone directly affected by the...
Have I Taken My Best Shot Already?
Last week I said that I would share the last of my Postcards from NYC series with you, but you will have to wait a week for that! Instead, I want to share some thoughts about my last three excursions shooting while my memories of them are still fresh. Last...
