Joy of Photography

My pal, and frequent model, Hurley shares the joy of photography in his own way.

In the 1970’s, as photography was reaching new heights of popularity, a book entitled “The Joy of Photography” was published. Even though it was written during the heyday of film and the traditional darkroom, I still like to flip through it for inspiration. In my own simple way, I hope this blog will impart some of the inherent joy in the process of photography - from taking a picture, enhancing it on your computer, and ultimately sharing it in printed or electronic form with others. This is not intended to be a technical guide since there are plenty of sites covering that ground already. Hopefully I can provide links to a few of them in the coming weeks. And though some geek speak may creep in here and there, the main intent is to discuss and show examples of photography and the enjoyment and challenges it can provide.
