Eugene Richards workshop: just a little change in the frame
I spent this weekend with renown documentary photographer Eugene Richards in an intimate group of photographers. Primarily we looked at and discussed photographic projects and worked through puzzles each of us are facing. I talked about my still-image image film (Ridiculous & Sublime: Life in an Inner-City Franciscan Monastery) and my current exploration of conflict and story structure. It was enlightening, challenging, and comforting to receive so much feedback from others who are in various stages of the creative process—and have the conversation lead by one of the best in the field.
We did do a little shooting: one “framing” exercise in which we photographed someone many times with varied framing but without changing our distance to subject. Here’s a few that I shot with my workshop partner and out & about in Woodstock, NY.
A new friend/fellow photographer posted a review of the workshop on his photography blog (www.terrymoorephotography.com). I agree whole heartedly with Terry’s evaluation of Gene’s humility, honesty, and openess to each person and way of working. Terry is beginning a very ambitious documentary project himself, about shifting coal and natural gas economies in Pennsylvania.
OK, so I moved for this shot but I couldn’t resist snapping a close-up of this big drooly mug!
debut post!
Hello everyone. I am very excited to be blogging within my website.

I didn’t really shoot today, though I happened to snap this one of my kitty.
