Instants Out of Time

Thoughts and reflections on social documentary and street photography (my own work and that of others). In my work I seek to share and record the so-called ordinary moments in the lives of people I encounter mainly on the street and in urban environments. My approach is essentially humanist and I strive to document the human condition with love, respect, empathy and compassion. Also you can expect the occasional post on me and my life. Reflections on the life of the artist you might say!

Lightroom Black and White Processing for Street Photographs See My Video!!!

Well my friends I am venturing into the wonderful world of YouTube! I have not only put up four slide shows of my street photographs, I have now produced a video of the Lightroom process I use when preparing my street photographs for the web.I find that for the vast majority of images, Lightroom is all I need, only rarely venturing into Photoshop for any odd bit of cloning or similar. But, I avoid that as much as possible, particularly in my street work. I hope you find it illuminating and, as always, your comments or criticisms are most welcome.

More Ways to Support My Vision

You can support this blog, and my ongoing artistic mission by making a donation. You may read my posts, view my photographs, and then you may decide that I am worth supporting. I believe in the power of art to heal, to promote understanding, and in its ability to create a better world. I intend, for the rest of my life, to stick to the truth of what I do, to my vision. If you share my vision, please support me, either by making a donation (it's really secure through Paypal), or by buying one or more of my images (which wuold be even better!). You will find links for that below. Thank you
