5. ROBERT'S BLOG
better photography IWhen you go out to make photographs, do so with the sole intention:"I want to see how it looks on a photograph".
about reality and truth in photography
A photograph is never more than a mere reflection of reality:

Sabine Korth is conducting workshops in beautiful Tuscany for photography enthousiasts.
IMAGINATION
Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the ability to form new images and sensations in the mind that are not perceived through senses such as sight, hearing or other senses.

Narrative Image: the How and Why of Visual Storytelling
Here is a slide show by Daniela Molnar about the how and why of Visual Storytelling
about 'ART' and being famous ...
Today Kieron is one of the world's youngest, globally reaching artists. His recent work has seen bids from over 35 different countries. He has over 6000 fans on his mailing list, featured all over YouTube and the world's media websites.....
the concept of 'time' in photography
You can never see 'now', light travels at a certain speed, so you always look in the past.
Photography stops that.
Art & photography II
Ever since the invention of photography, photography has been trying to bite the tail of art.
Art & Photography I
A mentally ill person may paint as part of his therapy, or a small child can make a drawing in art class.
PROJECT -'Photography for Sale'
Why is one photograph expensive to buy and the other not?

COLOURS
Besides from being the obvious Pavlov thing: You have learned that red is hot and danger and that white is clean (which you were not at a very young age) there may be more associations with colour than that.
holiday snapshots
We all take our cameras while on vacation to make 'snapshots'.
