01 – On Photography (it’s not rocket science)
Welcome to the 1st lesson in this introduction to photography class. Before jumping in the deep end and discussing the nuts and bolts of photography, let’s take a step back.
Technically, photography is an easy subject to master. There are lots of subtleties, of course, but as we will see in the next few weeks, the basics are straightforward. Of course, it will require a fair amount of practice and experimenting on your part to really internalize what you have learned, but taking sharp, well exposed images is not very difficult.
On the other hand, photography is art. Creating an image that follows your personal vision is a much, much harder task. This is not something that can be transmitted by someone else or learned from a book or a webpage. There is no shortcut, you will have to go through this process yourself. The best I can do, and this is what we will be attempting in this course, is to give you the tools to turn this vision into a concrete image you can share with others. We will do this by progressively moving away from the automated modes of the camera, putting you, the photographer, in charge.
One more thing about auto modes: there is no shame in using them. Sometimes, they are the

What is Fence Art? When I look up fence art in Google Images, I find mostly examples of fences on which people have painted colorful images or have affixed decorative objects. By fence art, I mean something entirely different. To me, fence art consists of the forms, colors, and textures that naturally appear on the wood from which fences are made. The emphasis is on naturally occurring. Granted, many wood fences are pressure treated (they are not 100% natural). However, wood fences display richly varied and appealing patterns, particularly as enhanced by changing weather and gradual decay. It is these natural patterns that I seek to creatively capture in my fence art photographs.
I discovered fence art in one of my many exercise walks around my neighborhood. I try not to take photographs on these walks, so I did not have my DSLR with me (or even my advanced point and shoot). But of course, I had my iPhone. I spent an hour that first day photographing two side-by side fences adjacent to a public sidewalk, and I then returned multiple times, with my different cameras. I have since photographed many other fences as well. At first I was drawn to recognizable forms on the wood grain of the fences—images that looked like people or animals. I soon, though, became even mo
