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.

Regular readers of this blog know that I like cars (and even have a car photography website.) And in the automobile enthusiast’s world it’s long been a common expression that “you are what you drive.” What about photographers? Are we what we shoot?
