When was the last time that changed the way you shoot? One really good method to alter the way you shoot is to shoot film for awhile. You can see how much you rely on previews when shooting digital and the look of film is entirely different.
It’s important to have your camera in control so you can respond spontaneously to opportunities. Observation is the name of the activity.
The theme of my photography and workshops is seeing with new eyes. Slow down, observe and see things that you hadn’t noticed.
As an impatient person, I can’t wait to shoot. That is how I started shooting from a moving vehicle. It’s one of my favorite methods. So much is left to chance. This photo was taken from a moving taxi in Lisbon, Portugal.
Rainy days are great for street photography. Umbrellas break up the world of lines.
Minimalism is a good method of providing focus to a photo’s subject.
Sometimes you get even more than you bargained for! Look at what everyone is looking at. I had the camera up to my eye, so it was no surprise that I was seen shooting.

I’m not a fan of shooting events and capturing photos that document it. But I do love capturing candid photos on Halloween with people in costume. It isn’t always easy to capture candid photos of events.
In my workshops, we work with what’s there. Reflections are a lot of fun and when the light is right we work with them.
