OLD AND NEW EXPRESSIONS

Dear reader, if this entry or my other blog entries don't answer your specific photography questions, you can call me on the phone anytime for advice by clicking here.

This is a still image from a new film I am working on, using a similar stop-motion animation technique as my film entitled GEIST.
This time I am experimenting with using an old mid-20th century twin lens reflex camera made by Yashica.

Today's blog entry is not a photography lesson, rather an encouragement to start photographing and thinking in very non-traditional ways. For photography as art, don't worry about sharpness and technical accuracy; soul is far more important.

Use materials that have appeared in the past, and mix them with present day materials. With experimentation you should be able to come up with some very intriguing results! With a mind-numbing mass of good photographers around the world, you need to really provide the world with a solid and unique look. This may be the hardest part in any photography career. If you are at this stage, my encouragement is to read old photography magazines, and current fashion, lifestyle, art, and design magazines. A mixture of past, present, and future influences can only help in molding your own individual style.
