All that stress took a toll I think on my creativity. I am reasonably happy with my top 9 images for this year, but I can feel my creative juices atrophying some. Every creative process is variable, and people have strong and weak periods. My hope is to concentrate a little more on photography this year and think more about what I know about light and how to play with it.

Top Photos Of 2020 – Jonesblog
Our world was convulsed with social unrest, violence, racism, incompetent leadership, unprecedented corruption of the highest office in the land in America, earthquakes, horrible wildfires in multiple places around the globe, and a global pandemic made worse through failed leadership in a number of countries. Pandemics are by their very nature, possible every year given the realities of biology, but this pandemic did not have to be this bad.

This is my now traditional New Year’s post, written in the late hours of December 31st, sipping something delicious while waiting for Midnight.

Computational Photography And Photographic Manipulation – Jonesblog
The last couple of years have seen attacks on the very definition of truth. These attacks have been motivated by political positions as well as interference from other countries, but they are also enabled by technology. Image manipulation has been done for as long as images have been created, going back to the very beginning of photography.

Bonneville Speed Week, 2016
What follows is a small sampling of the hundreds of racers that appeared out on the salt flats to see how fast their equipment can take them. It is hard to express the scale of the racing out here without some form of arial photography, so I have focused on the desolation of racing out here.

Sony RX100 III
This Sony RX100 III is an amazing little camera. If this camera had been in my possession 4yrs ago, it would have been the penultimate camera of the time able to compete with even the then high end DSLRs.

Dump Your DSLR And Save Your Back
Link: Dump Your DSLR And Save Your Back – Jonesblog
If you need another reason to dump that heavy DSLR gear, I am going to give you an orthopedic perspective: think about your back. The title may be a bit hyperbolic, but I’m not feeling particularly charitable towards larger and heavier cameras right now.

Cuba And The Automobile
Link: Cuba And The Automobile – Jonesblog
Cuba is world renowned for the number of old American automobiles from the 1950s and 1960s still on the streets. Before coming to Cuba, my impression was that there would be quite a few, but Duncan and I were simply not prepared for how many automobiles from those eras are in routine use in Cuba
