First of all, I would like to thank you for your amazing response, all your thoughtful comments and notes about “The Future of Photography” piece. I am working on Part II in which I will continue the discussion on this fascinating subject. Before I do that, I would like to share with you some very [...]
Over the course of the last few years I have met many amazing photographers on my Visual Poet Experience Workshops. Interestingly, some of them realized very little of their hidden talent for seeing and crafting great imagery. As I have studied this phenomenon, I stayed in touch with some students, following their struggles and their [...]
No, I haven’t had a chance to test this new camera just yet and I wasn’t planning to write this post, but things changed. The announcement of the X-Pro3 by Fujifilm has set in motion a real drama on the internet. To be specific, Fujifilm’s bold new design of the back screen of the camera [...]

Yesterday I came across a fascinating interview with Gregory Crewdson (thank you Zhai Y.) in which he explains the process of creating his images. In one part he says: “…but I think that’s where the mystery of the picture comes from – that tension, from the impossibility of that happening while trying as much as [...]
