i hear a sad song…i do not understand the words, but i can "feel" it is sad….deep, melancholy, and goes with the mood of the city…dark, mysterious and sometimes full of dread….i wander São Paulo, with not a clue where i am, but i am told that i am now in the heart of …
many of you have noticed our new (hopefully temporary) "restriction" on the number of comments per "page" (now 50)…getting to the most recent comments is now more difficult when we have over 50, which is almost always the case…we could go back to having the most recent comments at the top…however, when we tried that …
there is a little discussion going on in the previous post about "war vs. peace" photography and photographers…we can keep that one going, but i would also like to broaden the discussion a bit and chat about "subject matter" period… how important is it with what you choose to photograph in the first place? do …
