The way to do this is by invention – by surprise. When I say a good picture has surprise value I mean that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me. The best way to achieve surprise quality is by avoiding clichés. Imitation is the greatest danger of the young photographer :-)

Some people call it style, but what we’re really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that’s when you start taking pictures :-)

sketching, and it’s very close to writing. It’s a way of taking notes. A writer is closer to a photographer than a painter. I’m convinced just by the way I write notes that it’s a similar discipline. When you write, the time it takes for the idea to come to the pen and paper is very similar to the time it takes to put the image in the camera with your eye :-)

for another hour, or until the light goes entirely. Often the best photographs come when you least expect them — when you are the most exhausted, and the most emotionally vulnerable.

It would be silly, no? Photography has come to its present state in order to free painting from all literature, all anecdote, and even subject matter. . . . The painters should profit by their recovered liberty to do something else :-)

we should stand on our heads to distort that function. On the contrary, we should take hold of that very quality, make use of it, and explore it to the fullest :-)

I made this figure mainly because I was thinking of including him in the first volume of Robin. And if all goes well you might see him show up.

There's starting to be a growing concern that, though many of us expected a temper tantrum from Trump, he is withholding key information about national security and Coronavirus that would help protect American lives and, in addition to this, he's fired many advisors and hired many radicals. In addition, it came out that the GOP tried to bribe a US Postal Service worker in Pennsylvania $130,000 to lie and say there were election irregularities yesterday, which this man later recanted.

 

So, which one is true...do progressives hate freedom when we're the ones sticking up for Democracy? Do Progressives hate America when we're the ones standing up for every vote to be counted?

 

I really don't want to think a coup could happen but I think we all need to be vigilant because Trump has always gotten his way in his life no matter what choice he's made and that has led to a perception that he can insist that reality is different and it will actually become different for him.

 

But that's not the reality that the majority of Americans chose....

So after having Grifters head done for a while I decided to make him a semi-complete figure. It's not the most detailed figure, but I like it. Xenos was pretty easy when it came to the figure, but the cannon was the hardest part.
