Well, after reading Eric's post... yeah just a beautiful photo, what more should it be.... well I believe it should be meaningful, tell a story, work with other images.

Here is a beautiful book shot by National Geographic photographer Jon Bowermaster called:
Descending the Dragon


Sometimes the longest journey begins with great patience. When Jon Bowermaster proposed an 800-mile kayak expedition along Vietnam's northern coastline, the country's government initially responded, "That will be quite impossible." Negotiation saved the day, and Jon Bowermaster and his team of five—including a Vietnamese-American woman who had fled Saigon as a child on the final day of war in 1975—completed an unprecedented voyage, seeing Vietnam and its people in a brand new light.

You can also visit NPR's (National Public Radio) site and listen to his words on this adventure...
This book is about the people and the culture who live on the water in Vietnam.

The interview is at the bottom of Radio Time Roundtable

I was able to meet him in Santa Fe and sit next to him in class for a week, his aura is the same as in his photographs. He gave us one of his photo stories as a movie about leaving the town he lived in, and the places that held memories...  it gave me chills
I enjoyed him, his stories and work...

One of the best thing about living in Atlanta is an event that happens year round (ACP now)... and in the fall Atlanta Celebrates Photography. This week I got to see Gregory Heisler speak on Arnold Newman's work, Danny Lyon show his pictures and speak about them, see a show on a photographer who was in a recent Whitney biennial, and put my work up at Piedmont park, go to Composition Gallery to see Sylvia Plachy's work, the see a public art instillation piece inside the water tower at Studioplex... that's where I have been the last 4 days.... Go explore!

It's SQUARE! for only $299 you too can have this cute little camera. I think it's more like a pretty camera phone, sold as shooting WYSIWYG.... what you see is what you get... I cant see making a portrait with it, unless it's on the sly. I guess you could put it on your key-chain and it would look like a toy... maybe a good camera for little people, kids when they are learning. Although I loved my twin lens reflex cameras, this one is facade. The top lens doesn't do anything, just there to look pretty with no function, yeah I know, it's digital. So 3 mp, to focus between 4 inches (10cm) to infinity, and its 1.1" LCD display allows for both Waist Level Shooting(?) how... oh for if you putting the camera on the ground, and you don't want to get on the ground... and the ability to review your images. On B & H's website they also list it as a fashion accessory under features. It does have a crank to "advance" to the next shot... which was always fun. Even though it seems a bit silly I wouldn't mind it ending up under my tree at Christmas.
