I don’t write many posts about wedding photography because haven’t photographed a wedding in many many years.A few years ago, my then-accountant suggested I start shooting weddings again because “people pay crazy money for wedding photography.” While that statement may be true for some photographers, it wasn’t my experience.

When I find myself wondering, “what do I shoot next?” or start to thinking that “there’s nothing to photograph,” I like to make some digital images in direct monochrome mode. Or maybe for my film photography. I’ll load up a roll of Kodak Tri-X.

“Light,” as a wise photographer once told me, “may just be light.” What he was trying to tell me, I think, was that it didn’t matter what kind of lighting equipment you used, it’s al the same with the variables being color, direction, intensity and quality.
