“Walking the dog”

An appropriate response to the question, “What is the best camera?” is, “The one you have in your hands.” It’s the only one you can use in the moment. (These four images were made with a cell phone.)

Another oft-asked question is, “What is your favorite subject?” While some shoots are more fun than others, it’s kind of the same response for me, “The one I have at hand.” Ansel Adams supposedly said, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” My goal is to find that spot.

I remember a Mechanical Drawing class at Myers Junior High School where I first learned about one (and two) point perspective, and vanishing points. I think that still influences the way I look at cityscapes.
