Seclusion
8 April 2021
The ebullient color of these walls attracted us to this scene, especially as it was echoed by the happy plants bordering the building.
But the white window frame with the shade drawn and shadows falling across it told another story. The one we've all known lately of isolation.
There is no doubt the inhabitants are shut away from the world.
But looking closely at the scene, it doesn't seem unpleasant. They could be said to be more in seclusion than isolation.
The flip side of isolation, seclusion promises some sort of peace from the daily tumble. It speaks more of hiding than or being hidden away. An intentional withdrawal.
That's how we saw this scene. That's what drew us to it.
There was more than a little poetry to the editing, too. That never hurts.
We shot this at an angle from across the street. And we used a perspective tool to get those verticals parallel. But we left the horizontals receding to the left. We thought that would work.

Wait a Minute ...
10 December 2012
It would almost always catch us by surprise. We'd advance the film on our Nikon FM2 only to find out we'd already taken the last shot.
Sometimes that happens in life, too.
After 13 years as the editor of the Imaging Resource Newsletter, we have parted ways. It's going one way, we're going another.
We wish the company well and remain grateful for the opportunity to discuss our passion for getting the picture with each reader who welcomed such a long email every two weeks in their inbox.
But as we used to tell our (usually) patient subject when we realized we had to put a new roll of film in the camera, "Wait a minute!"
Because we aren't done yet.
And this publication is our way of continuing to discuss our passion for getting the picture. We have several reviews in progress, covering tablet software, new image editing software for the desktop, LED lighting and more.
And this is where you'll be able to read about it.
So we hope you'll join us as we publish here at Photo Corners. If you like the idea, support us with a sponsorship or a subscription. Both come with some benefits right away and more to follow.
