Whether in the classical darkroom or the digital darkroom, I think alterations to the image should only be made when it’s necessary to achieve your visualization about the photograph.  I have particular concern for photographers that approach image making with the cavalier attitude of ,”it really doesn’t matter… I can fix it in Photoshop!”

I have never had a great deal of interest in the grand landscape.  I am more strongly attracted to quieter, more intimate details of the natural environment.  I can only hope that the quite solitude that interests me is visible in some of my  images.

As I read more and more about photography in particular and art in general, I come across quotations that resonate.  This series of posts will be used to pass these along.
