@Marc – VERY nice! Thanks for coming back and sharing. It is cool seeing the images you captured during a video I watched of you capturing the images.

We live in an amazing time.

To me that’s what photography is all about: looking at life and finding those hidden images. I have stories about every one of my shots…the kids jumping off the sand dunes “friends” has quite a story, those were my classmates in the 8th grade, I was 13, it’s actually my the first photo I ever sold so began my career as a pro, it’s also my logo. It’s about the adventure and seeing, slowing down and looking, not just clicking…

@Marc – you had so many great pictures I had a hard time picking one. But for some reason the shades of green, the contrast of focus and blur – something about this picture spoke to me more than the others. And that is what art is all about, isn’t it?

I do love the kids jumping over the sand dune though – amazing picture.

Go walk with Scoble again – take him someplace he doesn’t know exists again. That was interesting to me. I love photography, but that isn’t why I loved the video. I loved the sense of history, and the revelation that so much existed where few people bothered to look.

You and Scoble are well matched to continue pushing that envelope!

Thanks for picking up on the video and ebook. I’m really passionate about photography and love to teach, so I hope these tips are of help. You can always contact me with any questions or comments just go to my site and send me and email. I wish you all the best for the holiday…peace, marc

PS I shot you picked is one I took about a month before we shot photowalking at the same place, it’s a new direction for me, printed as a giclee… a long ways from my classical B/W training!
