Imitation is a form of flattery, not artistic growth. Maturing as an artist means you no longer adopt—you adapt.

Your vision wants its own voice, not someone else's.

Style is a by-product. It is the end and not the means, and there are no shortcuts.

The very best you can hope for is that as a photographer I get over my need to be completely objective and, instead, take the time to create a photograph that makes you see, and feel, the scene the way I saw it.

We've grown up being fed the lie that the camera never lies ... The camera tells any lie we ask of it. Or any truth, for that matter. It's a tool, no more objective, really than a microphone.

duChemin Does It Again

Over at David duChemin's blog, he announced the third in his series of photography philosophy books:

Yesterday I submitted the last of the words and images for the last book in the trilogy – Vision & Voice: Refining Your Vision in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Hard to describe how excited I am to be done not only this book but the whole series. Harder still to believe that it’s been less than a year since the first one, the poorly acronymned Within The Frame, rolled out. Have no idea what I’ll do with all the time, other than travelling, shooting for clients, and continuing to offer the eBook at Craft&Vision.com. Might be time to begin the fourth book. Hey, if it was good enough for Douglas Adams to do a trilogy in four parts, it’s good enough for me.

Having read the first two in the series, as well as loads of his other work, I'm pretty excited to get my hands on this one.  David has a unique and wonderful way with words, funny and inspiring at the same time.

If this is something that might strike you, I'd appreciate it if you'd use my Amazon Associates link if you preorder it, which I highly recommend:

Craft & Vision - Latest eBook - The Inspired Eye 2
New eBook 

Craft & Vision is excited to announce the sequel to the popular eBook, The Inspired Eye. The Inspired Eye, Vol II picks up where the first one left off as duChemin continues to explore that foundation of all our photographic efforts: the creative process. Trying to escape a creative funk? This is a great place to begin. Illustrated with the images from David’s first foray back into film as he works to stay sharp creatively, this PDF is 32 pages long, and still only $5.00.

48-hour Special Offer

But wait! There’s more! :-) For the first 48 hours only, if you use the promotional code inspired4 when you checkout, you can have The Inspired Eye II for only $4 OR use the code inspired25 to get 25% off when you buy 4 or more books from the collection. These codes expire at 12:00am PST January 24, 2010.

Be Part of Something Bigger
This eBook release comes hot on the heels of David’s return from Kenya. While there he found an opportunity to build classrooms for an extremely poor school just outside the Maasai Mara National Park, and we’ve started the process to build those classrooms. 100% of the sales from the first 1000 copies of this eBook will go directly to that project, giving you a chance to be part of something much bigger.

Buy The Inspired Eye, Vol II now on CraftAndVision.com
