Do You Know Jed and Vicki? ...

So. I see from my web stats that a few of our photographer colleagues read this blog. Honestly folks, although we're glad to have you here, we're both mystified and flattered.

If you are a photographer and you are reading this today, what you really ought to do is click right over to Jed and Vicki Taufer's blog and read the latest entry.

As many of you know, Jed and Vicki have been wonderful friends and mentors to us.  So a few weeks ago, when photographers were palying a little game of blog tag, I decided to tag Jed. What he finally chose to write has so much more thought, insight and depth than any of the silliness that you are likely to find here from day to day.

I often wonder what it is that gives some photographers such a good eye. After reading Jed's post today, I am led to believe that the eye is informed most by what we see when we are not looking at the world through a fancy piece of glass. And although I haven't a clue about video games, (and, if you want to know the truth, I really don't think Jed's post was about video games) it was a wonderful treat for me to be able to read the thoughts of a thinker, the words of a writer.

This just in: if you want to improve your photography, put the camera down. A little reading and a little thinking really can't hurt.

Today, at least, Jed's blog is a very good place to start.

(Note to Jed: Yes, indeed that post counts. Tons. Definitely worth waiting for...)
