I've been considering offering a second class in
photography where I instruct a beginning photographers' class. I'd
like to instruct a course on being a photographer. Not a business
oriented class, or an equipment oriented class, but a class about what goes into
the thinking process of being a photographer.
The closest example I can give is the type of
material used in the LensWork magazines and
commentaries.<<<<<<<< Lenswork Magazine isn't directed toward the
beginner. They can use philosophical topics as a result.They're talking to
knowledgeable photographers.
Can one be a photographer without knowing
photography? Can you talk as a photographer without discussing subject matter,
light, form, color harmony or style?
Why are you a photographer?
Read the books "Why People Photograph" by Robert
Adams and published by Aperture. Also, "Dialogue With Photography" by Paul Hill
and Thomas Cooper, a Cornerhouse Publication.
