Dan Winters on Portrait Photography
Interesting video, from FLYP Media via YouTube, of one of my favorite photographers. A film shooter, no less. And 4×5 even. (If you’re not seeing the videos in my home-page feed, click on the Read Full Article link to view.)
Thanks to David Hobby over at Strobist for highlighting this video today. FLYP looks like it’s well worth your time. I’ve subscribed. ‘Cause I don’t spend enough time online already.

Analog tribulations
Digital-shooting film detractors frequently, and rightly, point out that a significant disadvantage to analog photography is that you don’t know whether you have the shot until the film returns from the lab.

Patting myself on the back
I am honored, and very pleased, that this image was selected for inclusion in the Center For Fine Art Photography‘s 2009 Portrait Competition. It was chosen from among 2500 images by juror Mary Ellen Mark.
The opening will be on Friday, November 6, at the Center in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
I’m pretty pumped, I don’t mind telling you. This is one of my favorites among the thousands of images I’ve made of my children over the years. I’m happy that at least one other person found it meaningful too.
