Quite a bit has been happening lately, so I thought I’d mention a few items for those who are interested.
I added a couple of links to my page. LightStalking is a wonderful web/blog site where you can look at examples, get short tutorials and information on everything from photography equipment to technique. Today’s subject is photographing lightning – truly one of the most difficult photos to capture.
Urban Photography is another link I added. It was started by a photographer in London who is very interested in street photography, something I was just talking about in the posts on taking better photos of people. People can share and critique each other’s work on this site, plus there is great info on famous photographers and more.
I had an article in the Bakersfield Californian yesterday but so far, they haven’t posted it on their website. I don’t really understand why they post some articles and not others. Anything that gives me – or anyone – a chance to link to their site is good for them. I’ll post it if they ever put it up. If they don’t, I may not submit any more material.
I’ll be posting some photos and art to Bakersfield Express, a publication started by Jennifer Baldwin to express community through arts, culture, and civic involvement. Check it out. I’ll be the third artist featured on the site, either this week or next. And Bakersfield has really reached it’s own decisive moment – art has really arrived, the downtown fine art’s district is real and a happening place to boot, and we should all jump in and support this as much as possible.
Next, Jennifer Baldwin teaches a photojournalism class at Bakersfield College’s Delano campus, and she said that last night she used my blog as the lesson! That is so cool – flattering – and I’m really honored that she found it useful for a lesson.
I’m going to hold off a few days on Part Three of Photographing People because tomorrow I want to write about Don Martin, who is a force to be reckoned with, his Metro Gallery, and my upcoming show there. IF you are anywhere near Bakersfield this coming Friday – Sept. 5, come downtown to Latination! Read the link – you will want to be there.
