Photographic Point of View – Ralph Gibson
Listening to Ralph Gibson speak, and reviewing his work, something hit me. Yes, his work is simultaneously complex and simple. Its complexity is hidden by simplicity. His chosen frame is the disguise. But moreover, his work over five decades is astonishingly similar and that, to me, is especially remarkable when bearing in mind that I consider changing my approach daily.

Monday, December 28, 2009
Photography at its root is honest. Its analog legacy is documentary, accuracy and authenticity. Digitally transformed, the honesty of image capture is being questioned. Regarding truth, however, photography’s quality has remained unchanged. Each capture is a story and the storyteller is the purveyor of truth. Compassionate storyteller, Ryan Lobo, relates some remarkable insights in a 15 minute presentation.

Thursday, December 24, 2009
Since picking up a camera 35 years ago, I was framing images to move viewers. A desire to convince them I was good at what I did remains an underlying yet significant motivation. What's more, I’ll make the claim that most spectators do so in judgment before considering the content’s honesty – that is – if it exists. I invite you to look at these 23 images differently. There is an integrity and openness in this group photographs that is unique and worth examining. They were taken by a photographer who does not care what you think; he’s not spinning it for his reviewers. He doesn’t care about anything except how the frame and capture makes him feel and what catches his eye. His viewpoint embodies freshness. He’s a chaste artist.

Think out of the box. We don’t want ordinary. Push it to the limit. Create something extraordinary. Differentiate yourself. All instill fear of not measuring up. It's also meaningless if read a la carte.

Photographers learn early to capture contrast. Most serious photographers – pre digital – started seeing frames in black and white so the word “contrast” is etched into our professional consciousness. Yet, contrast is more importantly seen as paradox. In this group of images taken in Afghanistan by Photographer David Guttenfelder, we are confronted with some of the most profound examples.

Monday, November 23, 2009
Your frozen mental picture is attached to a narrative. Dreams feel like movies but the meaningful moment is a photograph in your mind with an ascribed story. Precise and complete recall isn’t called video graphic memory now is it? Video Presentation by David Griffin, National Geographic Magazine Director of Photography with links to Photographers featured in the presentation.

Monday, November 16, 2009
The artist has success with me if feeling threads don’t break as he/she reels me in. A paradox, an emotional a-ha moment; whatever the established connection can be destroyed if the artist comes on too strong by telling me how to feel about my journey. Simultaneously beautiful and ugly, Edward Burtynsky's photos of manufactured landscapes are perfect examples of artistic paradox. Featured: Video Interview of Canadian photographer, Edward Burtynsky

Monday, October 26, 2009
Testimonials are equal exchanges: nothing is more powerful than familiarity with greatness when attempting to strengthen a network. When I ask you to like me, you feel the emotional risk immediately unless I have a network of allies sending a clear message that my greatness is authentic and tested.

In 1970, a 12 year old boy enthusiastically picked up the family Kodak Instamatic and started pointing it at anything. Or was it everything – hard to tell – but after only one twelve exposure cassette, he was running to the corner Drug for processing. Every photographer knows the ecstasy of repeated shutter clicks whether more »
