This is the third in an irregular series of random musings by this ol’ photographer/artist. “REALITY. What a concept!” I remember George Carlin using that line in his stand up routines must have been back in the 60s. And yes, what a concept reality is. I have alluded to some of my conversations regarding reality [...] I sense a bit of a resurgence in interest in black and white photography. This is probably at least in part due to the introduction of Nik Silver Efex 2 software, a package that makes black & white conversion so very easy.

I purposely selected this workshop for two main reasons. First, I greatly admire Tony and his body of work. And second while I do quite a bit of HDR photography, the subject matter revolving [...] Why aren’t there any people in my images? That is a question that I was recently asked.
