Welcome,
I am here with a long last post. This post is a collection of photos I took in September during my photography workshop in Maine. The workshop I took was taught by Elizabeth Cecil and was entitled Vision and Discovery. The workshop was a foundation workshop in black and white focusing on seeing your subject in new ways.
Day 1: Spaces-Spend the afternoon photographing spaces, capturing the corner of a room, photographing a farmyard, backyard or porch.

Will. These are beautiful. They work well as a series, even though the subjects of the photos vary. Are these all from Maine?
The photo that I find myself going back to again and again is The Guest Book. Funny, I actually wouldn't have even noticed the guest book had you not titled it that. But what makes this photo stand out to me more than the rest is its light. So gorgeous. the vase, flowers, table, window are all so illuminated, while the surrounding room is caught in these wonderful dark shadows. There's also a clear repetition of diamonds in the image. Diamonds in the window panes, the angle of the table top, even the flowers appear to be in diamond-like clusters. Really well conceived/framed.
I also love your shots of people. You draw us in, without feeling like you're invading their space. Very nice.
You do have a good eye. Merli is right: these are beautiful.
And Merli, you have a nice way of writing about it. I find writing about art very hard. And it's even harder to do it well. You have good composition in your voice.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
