As demand for our Eastern Sierra workshop exceeded our capacity, Jack Graham and I decided to offer an additional date this coming fall. Join Jack and me for an exciting four-day photographic tour of fall color, spectacular scenery, ancient bristlecone pines, the Bodie ghost town and, of course, the majestic mountain scenery of this beautiful [...]
Fujifilm’s recent announcement about the discontinuation of Velvia signifies an end to an interesting era in photography. In its own way, the film was responsible for some of the most striking imagery of the 1990s. Yes, it really was that recent. I was working in Israel when Velvia was introduced. I remember the salesperson at [...]
It is my great pleasure to announce my latest eBook: Creative B&W Processing Techniques. Designed as a companion to my earlier title Creative Processing Techniques, this new eBook extends my creative process framework with concepts and techniques unique to digital processing of B&W images, along with thoughts on approaching B&W photography as an expressive visual [...]
Digital printing technology is now within the grasp of every photographer. In most aspects, digital prints now exceed what was previously possible using traditional processes. Indeed, the vast majority of prints exhibited and sold today are produced digitally. The array of creative options available is almost overwhelming: from a variety of giclee’ and chromogenic printing [...]

A reader reminded me of this article I first published last year and I thought it would be useful to share again on this journal. ~ In his book “The Proud Robot,” 1940s science fiction writer Henry Kuttner tells the story of an eccentric inventor who wakes up from a drunken stupor to discover that [...]
Apparently not much, at least as it pertains to the goal of photographic technology. It seems comical that modern day film aficionados tout the benefits of a product that was really just meant to make life simpler and easier in the days of glass plates. Film ads of the 1800s and early 1900s boasted such [...]
The last thing I want is to start another useless film vs. digital debate. I did, however, want to share the results of a recent experiment that may be of interest to many of you who struggle with the issue of “how large can I print?” This seems of special concern to those coming into [...]
The Internet seemingly never forgets. Out of curiosity, I pulled up some of my older postings on various photography forums. Some of them made me cringe. I said some pretty foolish things over the years. At times I was inexplicably loyal to one brand or another, I’ve been a Large Format snob, an ignorant film [...]
