Today, we spent our f8 session talking about our trip to Santa Fe and some lessons learned. For what we did that weekend....read our 4-1-17 blog post. Some thoughts today... Studio tours were informative each in its own way....and contributed to our understanding of photography going forward. We all agreed that we should consider tours here in LA as part of our planning. Don Messec reminded us of a future where there will be "no spaces" in our inkjet prints....now, for every dot of color our printers there is a blank space next to it. In the future all spaces will be filled with color. Warren Marr reminded us that photography success has to be built on technical proficiency, persistence in exploring your visual objectives and producing a quality image....of course, doing it over 50 years. Mark Brendt spoke of moving between commercial art and fine art. His approach was to become a "street photographer" as the transition between the two types of photographys. He talked about his switch to a Leica based system. Everybody who went to Taos Pueblo liked the fact that not many tourists were there making shots of the Pueblo itself easier. Charles brought information on Photographers Rights...when doing street photography. He will send the info directly to everybody....sorry, I could not include in blog post. Howard reviewed the Powerpoint presentation that Ellen Landau did in Santa Fe about the relationship between O'Keefe and Steiglitz. He did a credible job of representing her thoughts about the two artists. The 90 minutes just seemed to disappear magically as it does every week.

HA, your remarks are so effusively generous (as it relates to Howard)! You, my friend, are something else!
