Stay Thirsty My Friends

by kbpadmn | Creativity, Digital Photography, How To, Inspiration, Landscape Photography, Uncategorized, Vermont

We’ve all heard this advice before in some form or another.  “There’s always something to shoot…” “Never give up…”, “Stay late…”  But every once in a while I get reminded of just how important it is to keep these axioms in the forefront of your mind.  And if you’re...

Get Organized

by kbpadmn | Digital Photography, How To, Landscape Photography, Vermont

Well it’s Sunday and I’ve got homework, a syllabus to modify and presentation to plan, lots of images to edit and process from an assignment or two and just like when I was in high school and college, I’m procrastinating!  When I was younger my procrastination...

Don’t be a Slave to Foreground

As I alluded to in the first two posts of the series (“Getting Picky” and “Creative Exposure”) our photographic journeys are very much an evolution, everyone on their own path and pace.  Except unlike the slow and steady pace of biological evolution our evolution as...

Photograph with Intent – Part 2 “Creative Exposure”

by kbpadmn | Adirondacks, Creativity, Digital Photography, Fly Fishing, How To

In my last post, Photograph with Intent – Part 1 “Getting Picky” we looked at the importance of slowing down and becoming a more selective photographer, only tripping the shutter if the scene really gets your juices flowing or speaks the language of your creative...

Photograph with Intent – Part 1 “Getting Picky”

by kbpadmn | Acadia National Park, Digital Photography, How To, Inspiration, Landscape Photography

One of the most enjoyable aspects of my career in photography is getting to teach what I love, whether in an intensive workshop format or more formal academic setting.  I’ve been teaching digital photography courses at a local college for a little over 13 years.  My...
