Thank you Louie! this is very good to hear. I work at a trucking company as the front office person so i've got pretty thick skin. ha ha.
I will look them up, thanks.
I, probably like many here have developed my own style - or at least i'd like to think so, so having my work look like someone else's isn't my priority.
I'd like to see how other people are drawn into a composition as a way of exploring my own style. i think of it like going to a cooking class, i might not have a cooking show or my own line of cook wares, but i'd like to know the way the recipe can be put together.
technically, from the camera 4x5 standpoint, there hasn't really been anything i haven't been able to figure out. Ansels book(s) have been great. I had to read some pages more than once before i figured them out, but the results were lessons well learned.
I have a lot more to learn. i guess i'll stop learning after they bury me.
Your right on all these points, i think that maybe i will give his studio a call. I used to live in Portland so maybe the 'home town' connection will get me a little less hype than i might otherwise expect.
I know, I know. working with a bunch of 'red necks' all the time keeps me on my toes, and so i tend not to take anyone else's crap - regardless, which is why i'm probably so quick to defend the 'under dog'.
thanks Louie,
Lilly
