Wits End Photography
This week's photo challenge is a focus etude -- Photograph Eyes. One exercise in the Focus section of my book 32 Photo Etudes is to focus on eyes.

For the next few weeks, I'm posting a travelogue about my recent trip to India - my first on the sub-continent. We set off today on our 2nd railway journey in India, from Agra to Allahabad (or as it's known now, Prayagraj).

For the next few weeks, I'm going to post about my recent trip to India - my first on the sub-continent. We arrived in the narrow streets of Old Delhi, our hotel in view of the Jama Mosque and the Red Fort....
I dusted off my street photography chops (not much true street photography in mid-America) and headed into the narrow streets of Old Delhi. I was reminded of a few things about taking street photographs in one of the world’s most crowded cities.
I’m heading out this week for a very exciting trip. Truth be told I’m a little nervous. I’ve done a lot of traveling but this is an adventure a little outside of my comfort zone. But the trip is about photography so these are the things I'm doing right now to prepare to make great photographs on my trip.
Overcoming Stress and Leading a Well-Balanced Life I'd like to introduce you to a symbol that changed my life and forms the basis of my life's philosophy. The symbol is that of a cairn. I've gathered my thoughts together as an ebook
Weekly Photo Challenge: The Color Red
Whether you focus on nature, architecture, or street, I hope I have you seeing red this week!
