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...

The Catalyst

by kbpadmn | Creativity, Digital Photography, Inspiration, Landscape Photography, Vermont

I love looking at other photographers’ websites and almost as much as I enjoy perusing their wonderful work I love reading their biographies.  One of the things I’ve noticed over the years is just how many photographers have been set a drift on a journey across the...

Making Chicken Salad Out of Chicken S@#&

by kbpadmn | Belize, Creativity, Digital Photography, Inspiration, Landscape Photography

In my former life I was a middle school science teacher.  I’ll never forget the crusty old Vermonter that taught PE and coached basketball at the first school in which I taught.  He had a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, which he regularly shared with the new teachers...

Want Your Images to Look Different? (part 1)

by kbpadmn | Black and White, Creativity, Digital Photography, How To, Inspiration, Landscape Photography, Vermont

How Photography is like Tequila

by kbpadmn | Black and White, Creativity, Digital Photography, Inspiration, Landscape Photography, New Hampshire

Photograph with Intent – Part 3 “The Decisive Moment”

by kbpadmn | Belize, Creativity, Digital Photography, How To, Inspiration, Landscape Photography

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 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...

Slow Photography Movement

by kbpadmn | Creativity, Digital Photography, Inspiration, Landscape Photography

No, I’m not going to discuss how to keep things sharp during long exposures, time lapse or using a view camera.  My new quest in life is to create a slow photography movement, not unlike the slow food movement.  I’ve noticed a somewhat alarming trend in recent years,...
