New Craft & Vision book – Iceland A Monograph

timothy — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:29:31 +0000

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 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.
