I went to the Source, AKA Ted Orland's poster titled "Photographic Truths." It is replete with nuggets such as—When your friends realize that you are a true artist, committed to making sensitive and meaningful images, they will ask you to photograph their wedding. Another, Distant objects cannot be recorded with short exposures—light travels only 186 miles in 1/1000 second. I guess large format photography is safe from that problem....
As quoted by an assistant a long time ago about the fundamentals of film photography... "Ignorance is Bliss!"
The sun must always be at your back, and every fine print must have a good white and a good black, or it is an utter failure. God forbid we should have gentle contrast.
This was one for sure.every fine print must have a good white and a good black

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Dang, that's a nice one. I can't wait to use it to explain why I mainly do short-distance landscapes.Originally Posted by Richard Wasserman;

Kirk, although perhaps not germane to your specific topic, I like the wisdom spoken by my mentor many years ago: " The camera is just another tool. You have a million options with equipment to distract you. I tell my students to simplify their equipment. It is up to the artist to create art, not the camera". I have passed on his wisdom to students that come my way, especially in these times where mastering technique seems to have replaced mastering vision. Keep it simple!
