FOG --

by Carl Sandburg

(1887-1967)

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking over

harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

"Miles Davis once asked Keith Jarrett if he knew why Miles stopped playing ballads. Miles' reply was because he liked them. Self-repetition destroys innovation."

You see, Kevin, that's why I stopped abusing instruments, just love music too much, now I am abusing cameras. :D

Jokes aside, I think that's a wonderful statement you made and your photos tell me that your words are from your heart. Congratulations again for a job well done here.

This is a great iighting. 7/7

I barely figured out how you used the light in one of the photos, then you came up with many new ideas. Hopefully I would see you someday and learn from you in person. :D

Thanks for sending me these newsletters. Best wishes.

I am glad for the fact that people like Sascha's style -- or I would be learning from a wrong guy. I receive his monthly newsletter, and hopefully I would get a chance to see him in person in Germany.

What I am trying is the light setup, which shoots against the white background and bounces back to the dancer; wrap around the extremities to portrait a skinny feel. Of course, it goes without saying that my model is perfect already.

Thanks Jim for the kind comments. Regards. -- Ray

Hi Cherlyn, I am going to Jiuzhaigou, really hope I could get shots like this! Wish me luck. :D
