I came into a lot of interesting ideas reading "Teaching Photography, Notes Assembled" by Philip Perkis. RIT Press sells a
print-on-demand copy for $20 which is reasonable considering the quality of the reading material and the absurd cost of original copies otherwise. Also starting into "Photography is a Language" by John R Whiting, which I'm excited to get through. Trying to research other relevant texts to teaching photography and visual literacy in general as well.
In practice, I spent my afternoon today making test photos based on an idea I had. Also looking into ortho film options and figuring out how best to cut down sheet film to 6x6cm squares for the Hasselblad sheet film back I just picked up because of a different idea I had. Loading up some 4x5 tonight so I can shoot with it this weekend, as I got my 210mm back from a friend who had borrowed it.
New ideas for a new portfolio are rapidly developing and tie in with an overall new perspective on where I'm headed with my work in general.
I mostly feel like I'm more involved again than I've been in a while. That's a good feeling. New ideas everywhere and I'm actually putting them to work. Always a good sign.
