End frame: The Pond Moonrise by Edward Steichen
It could be argued that The Pond – Moonlight (1904), taken in Mamaroneck, New York, near the home of his friend Charles Caffin, still stands as his most important early work. more
Jeannet van der Knijff
I love to be fully immersed in a scene. The process often starts with a documentary image - capturing what’s there. Then follows a kind of dance around the subject or place, trying to find the right angle, the right light, the right depth of field. more

‘A winter coral’ is not exactly a landscape photograph. Yet, somehow, it evokes so much of what, to me, makes great landscape photography. Trym Ivar Bergsmo was, in his own words, of the North. more
Alex Jones – Portrait of a Photographer
His work is not loud; it does not insist. Instead, it invites us to look closer, to notice the quiet details that most would overlook. Each image feels like a found object, carefully selected for its texture, its geometry, or its subtle interplay of light and shadow. more

Technology advance and evolutionary adaptation or why it is all about harmony (for me)
Here, I would like to pick up on one of those themes, expressed by Vilém Flusser (1920-1991) back in pre-digital days, about how, as photographers, we are all (to a greater or lesser extent) functionaries in the development of the photographic industry as part of the capitalist technological industrial complex. more
