Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking. -- Robert H. Schuller
I had a friend a while back ask me who my five favorite photographers were. It was a question that I think I have only just now answered, as the list tends to evolve as I come across new photography. I read a lot and make full use of the library, plus I work in a camera shop that sees hundreds of photographers pass through it a week. I am also a member of a small on-line community called Flickr, that is home to just a few photographers as well. ;-)
I never took any formal college courses on photography. On one hand, I am skeptical about most of them, not necessarily regarding what they teach, but how they teach it. But on the other hand, I do miss the fact that taking classes like that forces you to be exposed to photography you never would have taken the time to become acquainted with. As such I tend to venture a lot outside of the Flickr realm: checking out books at the library, going to gallery openings, looking at non-Flickr photographers' websites, etc. I think it is a valuable learning device.
To tie this in briefly with Flickr, I think it is all too easy to get caught up in the relatively sheltered world of photography it presents. And it is sheltered here. All at the same time, I find both an amazing variety of photography and a frustratingly limited scope of photography. It is contradictory in a way that both can exist, but they do. Also, in terms of the internet, you find a different type of photography tends to succeed. Bright, colorful, dramatic images do well. Quiet, subtle, introspective images less well. This is not a knock against the former, I am posting a fairly bright, colorful image here after all (in no small part because I imagine it will tend to attract more views to this posting, helping to spread the titles of some of the books I am going to list a bit further).
Anyway, to bring this all back around. I want to offer a piece of advice, branch out. Expose yourself to as many different types of photography as you can get your hands on. Even if you do not think it applies to your photography, it does. Trust me on that. I have learned valuable ways of seeing landscapes by looking at books of portraiture. Really. Because seeing other photography doesn't teach you how to take better pictures, per se, but rather it teaches you how to see better.
So to wrap up, a few days ago one of my contacts asked me what my favorite photography books were. I narrowed it down to ten, five of which I am going to post tonight, five another night. Some of these books you will have heard of, some not. I highly recommend them all for different reasons.
In no particular order:
Snaps by Elliot Erwitt
Simply, an astounding book of snapshot photography. One of the first photography books I bought. It is still a favorite of mine. Erwitt has an amazing sense of humor in his photography, but mostly, this book teaches you to always have your eyes open, everywhere.
Full Moon by Michael Light
This book is collected from the photographry taken during the Apollo missions. It is organized roughly to chronicle liftoff, exiting Earth's orbit, landing on the moon, return to Earth, splash down. The Hasselblad photographs taken on the surface of the moon are mind blowing. This book will take you places most of us can only ever dream about going.
Mountain Light by Galen Rowell
Perhaps my favorite landscape photography book ever. Personally I think Galen is a bit underappreciated by many landscape photographers, as most of them look at his images and then think that in order to shoot like Galen just involves finding colorful and dramatic light. Galen though had a much more intimate approach to his photography and it shines in this book. The other aspect of Galen that is often not mentioned, is how freely and openly he wrote of his photographic philosophy. He rarely talked much about which filters and lenses he shot and instead concentrated on what he was thinking or feeling. Pick this book up as much for his essays as for the pictures, heck pick it up mainly for the essays.
Koudelka by Josef Koudelka
When I publish my list of favorite photographers, I think Koudelka's name will be at the top. The man almost magically finds the most surreal moments in the most ordinary settings. This book is full of such photos. Highly inspiring.
Wild Beauty by Terry Toedtemeier and John Laursen
This book was published shortly before Toedtemeier's death and preceded an elegant exhibit at the Portland Art Museum. It is mostly geared towards all my Pacific Northwest landscape photography peers, but not just. It is a collection of historical photos ranging from 1867-1957 of the Columbia River Gorge in northern Oregon. It is a marvelous span of photographs that teaches all about vision and time.

So yesterday evening I was all set to chow down at the Macaroni Grill, off we went and into the parking lot we were amazing to see quite a selections of spots available. I figured this suspicious so we drove around front to see the green sign gone and signs upon the once glorious entrance way announcing that the location has been closed.
CLOSED???
Disappointed, we (well, mostly I) sulked over to O'Charley's for a meal.
I'm still not over the shock.
Today was a rainy day we stuck relatively close to home, I went for a bit of a walk and found some green in the rain and figured Canada was probably still feeling the need for green and went with that for today.
Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be better and we won't be on the road too long, we're heading to South Carolina to visit some folks; so I'm not too sure how much photography time there will be, but I'll try.
Happy Sweet Sunday everyone; today's treat are cookies from Starbucks, which apparently here have pink bags and pink cup sleeves, which is rather interesting! Has anyone else noticed this at their local Starbucks?
Hope everyone has had a good day.

-----------------------
Leopold Adler came with his family from Prague (where his father was a wealthy businessman) to Kronstadt/ Brassó/ Brașov in 1870. All his brothers (Aladár, Alfred, Móric) as well as three of his nephews (Artur, Oscar, Viktor) were photographers.
-----------------------
Leopold Adler, fényképész, Született: Nusle, Prága mellett, 1848, meghalt: 1924, Brassó. Egy zsidó gyároscsalád fia volt, az 1870-es évek elején érkezett Brassóba mint bevándorló. 1873-ban Carl Bömch műtermében szerzett oklevelet mint segéd. 1875-től 1900-ig Brassóban saját műtermet működtetett. 1900-ban addigi alkalmazottai, id. és ifj. Josef Schuller átvették tőle a műtermet. 1909 végétől 1914-ig újra a vezetése alatt működött a műterem. Adler fölényesen uralta az akkor dívó műfajokat: zsánerképeket, portrékat, az alapítás idejéből való műtermi kompozíciókat, tájképeket, építészeti témákat, népviseletek, népi típusok ábrázolását - innentől számíthatjuk az autentikus cigánytábor-ábrázolást is - események fotografálását. Vezető fényképésze lett Brassónak, neki köszönhetjük Brassó egy sor mesteri látképét, és még nagyon sok barcasági községét. (Brassó Barcaság legnagyobb települése volt.)
Testvérei: Móric, Alfréd és Aladár szintén mint erdélyi fényképészek tevékenykedtek.
Leopold Adler utóda 1900 és 1909 között: Josef Schuller és fia, fényképészek, Kronstadt (Brassó) Purzengasse

I was inspired by {April h}'s June delights. I used to do this on my website but it fell by the wayside. When I selected the 9 significant images (most had some personal meaning), I realized there were 3 distinct themes: The flowers in my garden; my time spent by the water; and getting my photos printed (prints, books, zines).
My sincere appreciation to each of you who stop by here and for those taking time to fave or leave your comment.

Different forms of transport in the Old Town of Chennai, India.
This house would have been built in 1588, however this date can be called into question because its owner, the mayor of the city, Johannes Schuller, died in 1586? This house was then used by many rulers of Transylvania (notably Zsigmond Báthori) as a resting place during their visit to Mediaș. Later, descendants of the Schuller family lived here, after which for many years the place was used as an inn and a brewery. Since 1993 the town hall has had it and rents it, currently to the Forum of German Democrats.
The arched entrance is guarded by two stone lions, copies of the original lions which are displayed at the Saint Margaret church.
