   Number 1: HT2723 - Books and Digital Publications

   Here's a Thought… #2723 with Brooks Jensen Books and Digital Publications The first half of the20th century was the era of original prints. It appears that the first half of the 21st century is the era of the Internet. My photographic maturity came in the last half of the 20th century. One of the consequences of that serendipity is that my appreciation of photography is largely based on books. Perhaps this is why I am a proponent of multiple-image projects that rely on layout-intensive publication rather than the single-image showcase of framed prints on the wall or Instagram.

   Number 2: LW1520 - The Big, Big Problem of Repetition

   LW1520 - The Big, Big Problem of Repetition I've been doing multiple image projects now for 45 years and reviewing submissions to LensWork for 34 years. One of the things I've learned is that nothing kills a multi-image project as fast as repetition. The instant a viewer thinks, "I've seen this one before," their interest starts to wane. Even if they haven't seen it before, but think they have, the damage is done.

   Number 3: HT2728 - The Last Time

   Here's a Thought… #2728 with Brooks Jensen The Last Time In her final weeks, a theme that Maureen revisited time and time again was the idea that we never know when will be the last time we ever do something. The last time you will make homemade spaghetti; the last time you will see a friend; the last time you will photograph a sunset scene. She was right, of course, and I think this inspires me to appreciate each moment I have to create art or enjoy what someone else has created.

   Number 4: HT2727 - Unknown RAW Files

   Here's a Thought… #2727 with Brooks Jensen Unknown RAW Files A fairly common experience I have when I return from an extensive and productive trip are captures of which I have no memory. That might be explainable here in the volumetric digital age. However, I had the same experience in my film days. Where do these mysterious images come from? What should I do with them? I really hope this is a creativity conundrum and not a medical condition! Become a member of LensWork Online and have access to all 2700+ Here's a Thought… commentaries.

   Number 5: HT2729 - A Library of Skies

   Here's a Thought… #2729 with Brooks Jensen A Library of Skies How do you feel about the Sky Replacement tool in Photoshop? Is it a cheat, or a solution? Or, maybe I should rephrase that: When is it a cheat and when an acceptable tool? For my work, I've decided it is a tool I'm willing to use if it is only a matter of timing. If the replacement sky could be possible if only I was there photographing on a different day or time, I won't hesitate to use it. Does this open a Pandora's Box of fakery?
