Advice from Alec Soth.

Here are a few pieces of advice for young photographers from Alec Soth.

"What advice would you give young photographers?
1) Never think photography is easy. It's like poetry in that it's easy enough to make a few rhymes, but that's not a good poem.
2) Study photography, see what people have achieved, but learn from it, don't try photographically to be one of those people
3) Photograph things you really care about, things that really interest you, not things you feel you ought to do.
4) Photograph them in the way you feel is right, not they way you think you ought to
5) Be open to criticism, it can be really helpful, but stick to you core values
6) Study and theory is useful but you learn most by doing. Take photographs, lots of them, be depressed by them, take more, hone your skills and get out there in the world and interact."

Hi folks,
Out of curiosity I called Timeless Photo and Idaho Camera on Orchard today to see what their turnaround times are for slide developing:
Idaho Camera said they develop slides on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, meaning if you drop them off on Monday they will be ready for pickup on Wednesday, etc.
Timeless Photo said they send slides out to be developed off site and if you drop them off on Monday they will probably be ready by Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning.

I have heard it is pretty amazing.

Sunny Sunday

Thanks for getting the blog rolling Eli. I just heard the weather report and it looks like Sunday will still be partly sunny. It should be a good day to do the slide exercise. Not to mention other exercise.
