When color can be too much
When color can be too much
I love color - sometimes too much. But there are times when color simply gets in the way of a good photograph. Bright colors can enhance, but they can distract. Often the better photograph focuses on tone and patterns. In such cases, monotone (black and white) photographs are the better way to go.

Finding your kind of street photography
Finding your kind of street photography
If you ask serious photographers just what is “street photography,” you are likely to find many definitions. At times, street photography can resemble travel photography. But travel photography tends to be less artistic and more about personal documentation of one's experiences when in unfamiliar locations.

Framed: Wait for the 'decisive moment!'
Framed: Wait for the 'decisive moment!'
