Meandering Light: How is working on spec any different than working for free?
http://filmisntdead.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-is-working-on-spec-any-different.html
Friday, February 4, 2011. How is working on spec any different than working for free? Or in other words, how else can a small business owner save money while supporting other creative professionals? Where is this coming from you might ask? Its a problem that has become even more pervasive with the easy access to professional level gear. That means charge industry rates yourself. And pay each other industry rates. Find someone who will do the work you need and skip the spec stuff. There is a r...After all...

Meandering Light: October 2010
http://filmisntdead.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. And what can I cobble together. Some things it only pays to get new, such as clean trays to avoid contamination rather than buying used, but many things when you are starting out definitely end up being DYI. For example, an excellent film drying cabinet can be made from an $11 hanging closet from IKEA and grandmother's old bonnet style hair dryer. The charity, which does some great work with BC women is The Minerva Foundation for BC Women. Posted by Dana Reed.

Meandering Light: April 2011
http://filmisntdead.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 21, 2011. The cult of youth and the arts. Lately I've been looking at a lot of art competitions as a way to get my art out there. It gets it on walls in group shows which provides experience and simply gets it seen. Even online competitions can be valuable that way. After all, if no one can see your art, what's the point? Emerging artists. The big barrier, sadly, is our society's ongoing fascination with the cult of youth. That's right, even the arts are prey to ageism. Posted by Dana Reed.

Meandering Light: August 2010
http://filmisntdead.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Why is your style? I've been thinking a lot lately on style in photography. I've seen images I really like, others I think really suck, and noticed that there are a lot of popular trends that seem to be way more style than substance. This has led me to wonder, rather than what is your style, a better question might be why is your style? While our eyes may be able to see 3 or 4 times the dynamic range our medium may be able to capture, do we really see it when we look at a scene?

Meandering Light: December 2010
http://filmisntdead.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 3, 2010. I've been on a bit of a hiatus from photography for the last month. I went home for a vacation that turned out rather different and longer than expected. After dealing with a lot of things, I am slowly getting back into planning my business and doing research. One thing I've come across often in my research, and it's a big peeve of mine, is a number of photographers claiming to be self taught. Self taught? Or are they just an inconvenient fact to ignore for your ego? My musings ...

Meandering Light: Images of Arch Cape, Oregon
http://filmisntdead.blogspot.com/2011/05/images-of-arch-cape-oregon.html
Friday, May 13, 2011. Images of Arch Cape, Oregon. I had the wonderful chance to visit Arch Cape, Oregon last fall for a workshop and only recently seriously looked at the images I made, as I was going through them to enter another photo competition. Here's an eclectic selection that I think exemplifies the amazing variety of places and things you see on the coast, on the boundary of water and land. Enjoy. Posted by Dana Reed.

Meandering Light: March 2011
http://filmisntdead.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. I wanted to share a darkroom technique that I use when I print that not many people seem to know about. It's called F-stop printing. F-stop printing also helps when it comes to burning and dodging, as it makes things easier to decide. You can burn or dodge half a stop, a full stop etc. Here's some further info to take a look at, including a couple of manufacturers of F-stop enlarger timers, which are on my wish list.

Meandering Light: November 2010
http://filmisntdead.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 1, 2010. A walk in the rain. This morning I went for a stroll in the pouring rain. It is Vancouver in the fall after all. Other than wet feet, it was nice. I don't mind the rain and even though it was dark when I started, it's much quieter first thing in the morning. That remains to be seen, but I have started, which can be the hardest part of all. And speaking of photos, here's a few from this morning's walk. Posted by Dana Reed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My musings about photography,...
