100 of the 109 photographs in this book are shot on black-and-white, slide and color negative film. The VueScan software was used first to make excellent TIFF-files from the Nikon LS9000 Super Coolscan equipment. Both the website and the book were produced from PDF-files and standard paper.
Edward Weston: “The most important tool of a photographer is not his camera but his eye.”
As a hobby or a profession, photography teaches you to look and see. In the process you might learn to see more than just what meets the eye and what’s coming next. As a photographer I think in pictures all the time. The new thinking gives an immense benefit i.e. when reading word-pictures like parables or proverbs. The picture in your mind assists in seeing the hidden meaning of a conveyed principle.
Over the years, the opinions and comments about the contents of this book vary greatly. Most readers could not “see” the content beyond the page. It’s not a coincidence that someone who “saw” the message was a professional photographer! Therefore, his comment is the only one I posted on the website so far.
