I just uploaded a new gallery to my website with 6 photographs from my Stills in Motion project. A series exploring movement. I've been playing with creating movement in-camera exclusively (ie. not using Photoshop) and experimenting with the results. I've been quite happy with what I've gotten so far, to the point where I'm starting to understand that obsessing over the technicalities of an image is sometimes a waste of time. What's important is the image. Who cares if a photograph is tack-sharp and perfectly lit if it's a boring shot that doesn't say anything? I want to tell a story, and a story can be told with a blurry shot full of noise and artifacts. Actually, some stories even benefit from this. So, I keep experimenting.
