sky (iphone), just after the lecture © kjm

I know, I'll stop with the sky pictures after this one.

Off to Photolucida today, and I'm a bit nervous, having never been to a review like this before. But Thursday was as good as it could be in preparation, with a dry run showing the prints to local photographer peeps Mel and Dan, Sonja and Jonathan. Then it was off to see Stephen Shore give a lecture for a show of his work at Marquette University. He was smart, thoughtful and inspiring, to say the least. Several points he made will stick with me, but I was most impressed by how he described his life long drive to make pictures: a result of wanting to learn more about the world.
