A closer look at the world. May all the dreamers go forth. April 4, 2009. Congratulations to all the finalists in the “Name Your Dream Assignment” photographer’s competition. There will only be one cash winner, but I hope others keep going on their dream ideas. Many of these ideas do not require a $50K cash prize to accomplish. The comments were very moving. I made many new contacts, too. And best of all, I got three job offers to go back to Afghanistan because of this contest. The top 100 are here.

The art of commerce, 4: When global is local | Seeing
https://seeing.wordpress.com/2009/04/04/the-art-of-commerce-4-when-global-is-local
A closer look at the world. The art of commerce, 4: When global is local. April 4, 2009. When I first came to North Georgia, I asked a local gift shop owner what sort of photographs I should bring her – what sells? She said, “Oh – the covered bridge! People always love the covered bridge.”. I dutifully trooped off and photographed the bridge for several afternoons. I got bored with it almost immediately. People weren’t sure what it was, even though it was such a common object. They guessed it w...I do a ...

A closer look at the world. The art of commerce, part 2. December 19, 2008. A friend asked recently in despair,. When you can buy these posters so cheaply – how do we price photos? Click here: Natural Landscapes (Photography) Posters at AllPosters.com. I’ve struggled with that for a long time. But, the biggest factor is that people are never just buying art as a “product” – they are buying a feeling, or a story, that means something to them. There’s also the “expertise” factor, which is...You are comment...

A closer look at the world. Update: Afghanistan project now rank 63rd – VOTE BY MIDNIGHT. April 3, 2009. I am really honored that so many people – colleagues, friends, and total strangers – around the world have taken the time to vote for this project…. To vote, go to. This is the full project description. From an airplane, Afghanistan’s rugged mountains look uninhabitable. And from the viewpoint of news media from across the globe, images of violence and poverty dominate. Story-telling is a traditional ...

Making love in Photoshop | Seeing
https://seeing.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/making-love-in-photoshop
A closer look at the world. Making love in Photoshop. February 27, 2009. People hate themselves. They spit on their own images. They want wrinkles removed, scars covered over, teeth whitened, fat lost, dark circles lightened. All the things that life has done to them, and they want me to fix it. I do understand. A portrait, even an informal one, is an Occasion. It has much to do with how we view ourselves – even though photographs are also lies. But this weird thing happens. Digital photography and all i...

https://seeing.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/the-art-of-commerce-part-3
A closer look at the world. The art of commerce, part 3. March 26, 2009. More than a year ago, my friend Sara suggested that I teach photography workshops. “After all, you’ve trained journalists all over the world,” she said. I love training adults in new skills. I’d rather teach people how to photograph their kids than have them pay me to do it. In North Georgia, the typical workshop fee is $40 for a morning workshop. Typical enrollment is 10 people. Gross: $400. But that is my GROSS pay. Then there...
