Day 85 of 365
This was my 85 of 365 post the other day. It is real or a ghost? I participated in a photowalk with the James River Camera Club. The theme of the walk was street photography. This was a follow up to a class that I taught on street photography.

Learning Photography
People often ask this question of me. What's the best way to learn photography? I'll start by saying that today is one of the best environments for learning photography that I have ever seen. You have online training programs like KelbyTraining.com and Lynda.com. You have photography schools. The granddaddy of correspondence schools in the New York Institute of Photography. There are more books on photography than ever before. The answer that I give people is choose what works for you, your lifestyle and budget.
You learn best by going out and taking pictures. The more pictures you take the quicker you will learn. Look at the work of others. The game changer these days is there are so many photographs that you can view online. You can search for and look at the photographs of the master photographers. Flickr is a great source for viewing the work of other photographers. Get involved in a local photography club. If you like a certain type of photography look at magazines that feature that type of work.
Remember, this is just my thoughts on the subject. There is much more to share on this subject. If you have some suggestions or ideas that you would like to share feel free to leave a comment.
Mostly Photo Beta 1
Here is the link to the Mostly Photo Beta 1 video. Trey Ratcliff has some interesting things to say about HDR processing. The video is just a little over 1 hour in length. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcW5jlCzmoA
Welcome
Welcome to my new photoblog. My goal is to share my thoughts, pictures and ideas on photography. I have been involved in photography since the 1970's. I started with Polaroid and progressed to 35mm and finally digital. I have a great love for street photography, air shows, music and nature.
Currently, I've decided to participate in a Project 365. I am hoping to take and upload one new photograph everyday. So far, 75 straight days with a new photo and posting. Be sure to follow me on Flickr, Facebook or Twitter.
Hope you enjoy.
