This is my third and last installment on my first visits to the multiple exposure playground I am calling “Multiple Impressions.”
Walking through the stands packed with clothes and accessories at the open market in Florence, I saw so much color to juxtapose with the silhouettes of passersby that I knew I had to make very expressive and dynamic photos Continue reading One market. One hundred vendors. One thousand tourists.
We all know it: Italians are intense, crazy and fun. Add to this thousands of tourists from all over the world and the result is absolute madness. What better way to portray this country than with Multiple Impressions photos? Continue reading Milano Centrale Train Station
How do we show in a photograph the feeling of being in a carnival, an open market or a busy train station? Visions flash in our memories and merge with one another.

With these I was able to take a picture in which both a friend and the trees in the background looked sharp. Continue reading How sharp do our photos need to be?
Recently I had a chance to teach raw file processing in Adobe Lightroom to graphic designers interested in photography. It was a nice experience, …but I learned that a lot of people think photographers use computers for fixing everything they could not get right and making great pictures out of bad ones.

A short post to wish you all a very happy Valentines Day.
Have you ever gone out to take pictures and you just don’t make any? It’s happened to me a few times.
