Craft & Vision has just released the new ebook by David duChemin “Iceland A Monograph The Print and Process Series”. Mr. duChemin provides us with an incredibly intimate look into the creative process that a dedicated photographer goes through in practicing his craft. The Photographs are outstanding and are accompanied by a detailed description of the technical details and emotional considerations behind each one. Mr. duChemin also espouses the benefits of just playing with your craft – “Creativity is one big ‘what if,’ and the more we engage our craft with a sense of play, the more creative and unique our results.” I thoroughly enjoyed reading and studying the photographs in “Iceland A Monograph”

This is my daughter’s pooch, a Jack Russell Terrier (or terror at times) taking it easy snoozing on our bed. But not for long as my daughter is moving out soon to go to school and taking the little dear with her.

This Site has been entirely rebuilt since my old one was hacked and I was unable to bring it back. I also decided to be more focused and change the theme to follow my hobby of photography. So please bear with me as I gradually get everything organized and put online. Hope you find it useful and interesting.
