DOORS ON PERCEPTION. A free on-line seminar and workshop approach to learning photography. Sunday, April 13, 2014. April workshop on 'the thing itself'. None as such, but please continue to work with 'the thing' with any new understanding that you received during the course of the workshop session. You may wish to re-read Szarkowski and look ahead into his discussion of 'detail'. And the two sheep might be about the golden light. Here is a little piece about.

DOORS ON PERCEPTION. A free on-line seminar and workshop approach to learning photography. Sunday, November 9, 2014. November. Vantage Point. I took a while to present my stuff today because I was attempting to reprise Szarkowski's final act. Vantage point on the face of it is pretty straight forward, but he also provides some summary material for the whole book including a definition of what a photographic artist is all about. More about all that below and in the extras. John Szarkowski, in his book 'Th...

DOORS ON PERCEPTION. A free on-line seminar and workshop approach to learning photography. Monday, August 11, 2014. August Workshop. The Frame. A hot afternoon, but still folks turned out to see what imagery the other students had produced in response to the assignment on the frame: to produce two images, the second being a crop of the first with the intention of producing a cropped image that 'told a different story'. As usual in this seminar series, it turns out that what was once thought of as simply ...

Doors on Perception: October 2014

http://doorsonperceptionseminar.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

DOORS ON PERCEPTION. A free on-line seminar and workshop approach to learning photography. Monday, October 27, 2014. A photograph that was my own personal take on time, and which did not use frozen or blurred motion was this one on 'eternity', or outside of time. Time can be thematic, (the subject), as well, as Simon demonstrated in his last presentation. Time, speed, distance. Shutter speed is brief, but within that time we see the blur of speed and feel the sense of motion through time.

DOORS ON PERCEPTION. A free on-line seminar and workshop approach to learning photography. Friday, July 18, 2014. Take a picture - any picture - in the way you would normally do.

DOORS ON PERCEPTION. A free on-line seminar and workshop approach to learning photography. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. A slower shutter speed permits camera movement, purposeful blur, to express thematic ideas. A little cooler in the library conference room this last Sunday, and about time. Too, now we are into September! And the topic, coincidentally, was Time. How far can we stretch our minds, and do we really want to? I read about Eadweard Muybridge's motion studies, with the calibrated backdrops a...
