Would you run around naked even if it were legal? Probably not. At least, not often. The things we think we want are not often as great as we’d hoped.
Photography
We encounter people every day who, just like the kids’ tricycle, have been left out in the rain. Are we willing to let them know we care?
I wasn’t eligible for a Pulitzer prize in photography again this year, and I won’t be next year; with all respect to those who win, I don’t want one.
We don’t think of the dictionary business as being competitive, but a little comment about coffee was enough to throw some serious shade.
Everyone likes having a lot of choices, both in ice cream and creative software, but there is a point with both when too many choices leads to diminishing returns.
Shooting outdoors can be fun and enjoyable, but nature doesn’t necessarily want us trampling all over it. Sometimes nature bites back.
Photoshop has been maligned and blamed for a plethora of bad images, but it’s not the software that’s the problem. Let’s set some things straight.
Niche photography sounds cool and expensive, but does it still make sense for photographers to limit themselves to only one genre? Consider the options.
What does it take for a photograph, or anything else, to be considered art? We look at both sides of the argument and let you make your decision.
Taking pictures in the middle of the night isn’t for everyone, but Rachel Williamson did it and the results were quite impressive. Take a look!
Pole dancing is proving to be an effective form of communication in some of the most surprising of places. Maybe even church. Take a look.
Twitter is testing a new feature that allows users to edit photographs by putting stickers on them. This is not good news. Don’t edit my photos.

We’re sharing some of our favorite photos  from yesterday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Indianapolis. Lots of fun, lots of green, and lots of kids!
A friend’s Facebook post reminded me of how much I used to be about shattering boxes and illuminated how much I’ve not. Today, we return. Boxes, you’ve been warned.
Most things don’t work. We try, fail, and our creative frustration grows to the point we give up. You have to not allow failure to affect your sense of self..
Creativity without quality is of little use and quality cannot be mass produced. Art does not work on a volume scale. There’s a reason masterpieces are rare.
To be truly creative, to make something that is different enough to impact our culture, means being willing to take risks and make sacrifices that are uncomfortable.
Where we strive for perfection we fail. Where we allow ourselves to be creative, we still may not succeed but we are more likely to try again. Take a look.
We were up taking pictures this morning much earlier than we would normally attempt, too early for our brains to function, too early for that bird.
How would you respond if I couldn’t show you my photos, any of them, until you show me you’re over 18? Some people would like that to happen. We’re not kidding.
Those pictures teens are constantly taking are changing the global economy, not because there are too many, but because they change our decision-making process.
