ALLENTOWN MUSEUM PHOTO EXHIBIT

STUDY YOUR COMPETITION

“Steve” and I are part of a large photography exhibit that opened this weekend at the Allentown Art Museum.  I had photographed Steve as part of a project on artists and am always eager to show him off.

STEVE SEARS BLACKSNMITH BY BROKAW PHOTOGRAPHY

The exhibition hall was packed with photographers who are all displaying great images.  It is a little daunting to see how good they all are and also encouraging to see the bar for photography rising higher and higher.  Mediocre images just don’t cut it.

When high quality becomes the norm, the only place to go is up.

It would be easy to be jealous other other people’s talent but that’s pretty much a waste of attention.  It is much more fun to study what they do and how they do.  Not to imitate or compare but to understand.

Business (i.e., life) is always a learning process. Gotta love it.…

THE SCARECROW WRANGLER

FRENCHTOWN SCARECROWS 2017

Each year creatively created scarecrows suddenly appear in Frenchtown.

Every night they wander the streets and change places before dawn.

Hundreds of people have investigated this strange manifestation but no one yet has been able to explain it.  We all …. we all know there is no explanation

With the help of my trusty Scarecrow Wrangler we captured them briefly for a quick portrait before they animated and began wandering.
