Snow Lovers on a warm day</p>

<p>I found that after I started taking pictures a few years ago that I experienced the world differently. I noticed things that I wouldn't have noticed before. I began not only looking at things, but looking for things. Taking pictures enriches my living.That's why I take pictures. ed</p>

<p>Let's see if I can get the picture load this time. We were late for the rally so all we saw was the clean-up. I thought the rear view said something about the moment</p><div></div>

<p>I think that it is extremely difficult to adequately represent a complex human situation like homelessness in a single photograph. If you were to take a picture of me in my most pathetic posture, it would not represent me at my best. The picture of the 'idle rich' in an earlier post is easier to do because as a photographer I could have a clear cut intention of showing these people critically. Of course I wouldn't show them as loving family members etc., but that might not matter. My problem with photographing the homeless is that I would like to show them at their best, but i usually encounter them only at their worst. Reading the various posts above, I was reminded of a documentary film that I recently saw. What impressed me was the way the film conveyed the complexity of the people shown. The film, for those of you who might be interested, is Dark Days by Marc Singer. </p>

<p>I used a Panasonic Lumix tz5 for a long time and found it light, easy to use. It took pretty good pictures. my daughter has used one and liked it as well. Recently I bought a Sony Rx100. It has a relatively large sensor, which appealed to me. I ignored the fact that it was overpriced. I haven't noticed any better performance than I got with my tz5. The Rx 100 is also heavier and the controls are not as easy to access as on the tz 5.</p>

Walking back to work after a rain.<div></div>

<p><strong id="internal-source-marker_0.07148565375246108">I read most of the essays in this book before I discovered this forum. It certainly met my need to learn something about how photographers think, not technically, but emotionally about their work. The picture not taken theme is a device that the photographers respond to in many different ways. Some of the brief essays are quite profound some are not. I enjoyed the range of the essays and looking up the work of some of the photographers after I had read their words. I now look forward to seeing the pictures of the members of this forum.<br /><br />Here are extracts from three of the essays.<br /><br />Among the most moving was Tim Hetherington’s where he wonders whether his hesitation about publishing a picture of a dead American soldier. “My hesitation troubled me. Was I sensitive this time because the soldier wasn’t a nameless African? Perhaps I had changed and realized that there should be limits on what is released to the public? I certainly wouldn’t have been in that questioning position if I’d never taken the photograph in the first place…but I did, and perhp\aps these things are worth thinking and confronting after all [Tim Hetherington]”<br /><br />“I couldn’t bring myself to take a picture of the man and his cat. The sight of a tough guy on a dark night tearfully cradling a dead cat won’t soon leave my mind. But the moment seemed too raw. He was too sad. And I didn’t have any good reason to give him as to why I might want to take a picture [Dave Anderson].”<br /><br />As a fifteen year old he finds his camera has no film, but he ‘takes pictures’ of men in a bar. “This was the access and openness I’d always wanted my photography to have…but I never knew how to get it…I was brought back to earth when I remembered there was no film in the camera. For a second it felt like I blew it. Oddly that feeling went away quickly. …I realized that some door had been opened for me. I had found a way in with thesepeople, they accepted me and my camera, and I wasn’t afraid [Timothy Archibald].”</strong></p>

<p>This doesn't address the issue that you raise, but … I was excited when I took a picture of the clock at the Quai d'Orsay, only to discover that another person's picture at the same site was being used as a logo for some company. I definitely felt sheepish about showing off my 'great shot' after that. <br /><br /></p><div></div>
