“Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field.”

“Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field.”
― Peter Adams
The image on the left was captured at 250th of a second at f/5.0 which resulted in a very shallow depth of field. Because of this the background is out of focus allowing the subject to stand out. The image on the right was captured at 1/5th of a second at f/32 which created a deep depth of field and a sharper background.
depth of field is the zone of acceptable sharpness within a photo that will appear in focus. In every picture there is a certain area of your image in front of, and behind the subject that will appear in focus.This zone will vary from photo to photo. Some images may have very small zones of focus which is called shallow depth of field.

“Make it simple, but significant.” ~ Don Draper

Focus on the Significance of Simple
“Make it simple, but significant.” ~ Don Draper
According to Don Draper He said " I used this quote as the theme for a recent writer’s retreat for one of my beloved clients. It gave us an effective mantra for the weekend, kept us on point and helped to streamline the writing in the most powerful way. Don draper
“Make it simple, but significant” also got me thinking about how we often make things too complicated, in general. I know I do, to the point where sometimes I actually feel complicated.
But, simple is clean. There’s brilliance behind simplicity. And, many of the most significant things in life, when it gets right down to it, are pretty simple. To simplify means to get back to basics, to start with one simple question, idea or statement and then find the significance in that.
Significant is memorable. Significant can be priceless and timeless. Significant is a moment in time.
So, that’s where significance starts. Focus on the simple: the simplicity of an idea, then another idea, then a question, then this moment, then, then, then… You can be present with simple.
Just as letting go of a result often actually brings the best result, by focusing on simplicity, the significance of a moment or idea will reveal itself as well.
Just a thought... simply."

Consideration as an artist

"Discovered is that im an image maker, and i don’t care how it’s made whether it’s through painting or photography or drawing- i just want to to create images"
According to james stanford,
Now About art ? this question pops up often, and with many answers. Many argue that art cannot be defined. We could go about this in several ways. Art is often considered the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations and ways of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics. At least, that’s what Wikipedia claims.

The great spiritual writer Thomas Merton once said, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” We have all stood in front of that special image that sang to our soul. It has been said that the art we choose to hang on our walls is a visual representation of who we are and what we believe in. The resonance of art is deeply personal and what works for one person might do the opposite for another. Art helps a person to express themselves completely. Sometimes people choose to stay in a box, do not dare anything, always perfect, scared to make mistakes. But when you do art...there are no limits as to what you can achieve. You do not have to stay conservative, you do not have to keep yourself in check. You can "lose yourself" by loosening up without worries.
