Introduction.

I’m starting a series of posts discussing my thought process when creating photographic images.  I’m hoping it will be of help to those of you who are just beginning your photographic adventures, and also to those of you who are more experienced but wish to compare notes.  The idea for this arose last year when I was asked to discuss my images during the Leica Akademie workshop in Toronto.

I know many of you aren’t necessarily able to attend a Leica workshop and most of you aren’t able to travel to Toronto for a One-on-One Teaching session with me, so I thought presenting this information on my website, though not ideal, would at least make it more accessible.

Before I begin, I’d like to emphasize the following:

This is a work-in-progress, both literally and figuratively.  In the beginning there will be gaps between sections, because I won’t be able to write them all in one sitting.  As time passes, and as sections are completed, I’ll likely be updating and expanding each of them by adding more commentary, examples, and images.  Hopefully as I learn, I’ll revise.  I’d like the content to eventually strike a balance between being comprehensive and remaining practical.

With that in mind, the next post will be an overview of my five considerations, my “workflow” for creating photographic images.
