HT2022 - Close Your Eyes We photographers are such visual people that our sense of sight can overwhelm our experience. I often find it useful to close my eyes and let my other senses open to the experience. Strangely enough, when I reopen my eyes I see differently and more deeply. All 2000+ episodes of Here's a Thought . . . are available in their …

After a peaceful and boring two week break (lmao) the franchise that cannot fucking quit is back and so is Date Card Pod!

Clock in in the second half for som…

HT2021 - Retracing the Circle I spent the day yesterday photographing in Custer State Park here in South Dakota. A strategy I often use was my modus operandi yesterday: I retraced my morning route in the afternoon, but in the opposite direction. Different light, different clouds, different moods and moments. All previous episodes of Here's a Though…

HT2020 - Not a Wildlife Photographer I've made no secret that I am not a wildlife photographer. But there I was, in Custer State Park in South Dakota surrounded by buffalo. How do I not make a few pictures? Do we have to have a purpose? Does our photography have to be serious? Is fun a sufficient excuse for pulling out the camera?…

HT2019 - Photography At 60 mph, Part 2 As I was discussing yesterday, I often pass by many photographic opportunities when driving down the road. The more important lesson is what happens when I do stop. I don't ever remember stopping and not finding a photograph. Is it possible that we could stop at random and find something interesting?…

Today we’re diving into something that might hit close to home for many of us—social media etiquette, and why you might not be getting tagged in posts as often as you’d like. It’s easy to get frustrated when you see your colleagues or counterparts sharing photos of a project you collaborated on, and they don’t tag you. But what if it’s not intentio…

HT2018 - Photography at 60mph After having driven roughly 1800 miles in the last few days, I cannot tell you how many potential photographs I've seen and sped past at 60 mph. It's frustrating to see so many opportunities while we are driving and have no chance of making a picture. Perhaps this is why I love dirt road photography in the landscape so…

HT2017 - Projects As Questions In this group of 200 projects I've been talking about the last couple of days, a common thread of so many of them was that the photographer was trying to tell us rather than to ask us. The projects were rather preachy. Photographs can easily be declarative images that propose answers, but evocative photographs ask que…

HT2016 - Gimmickry Yesterday I mentioned that I have just completed reviewing a couple of hundred projects. A very significant number of these this year included some sort of processing gimmick that was supposed to add depth and meaning to the photographs but actually became a distraction and/or a trite attempt to make weak photography significant.…

Did you know that by not diversifying your client base, you’re not just making a decision—you’re making a statement.

In this episode we expose the ugly truth behind unethical vendors, how their true behavior ultimately gets exp…

Let's be honest...getting married is the easy part.
