A Sense of Place | Finding Your Eye At Home And Abroad
© 2012 Craft and Vision | Younes Bounhar | A Sense of Place | Finding Your Eye At Home and Abroad “Most travel photographers make pictures to convey the appearance of a place. I try to make them to convey a “Sense of Place.” What exactly is a “Sense of Place?” To me, a “sense of place” means not just what a place actually “looks like,” but rather, how it feels, what it represents or once represented, and what it might mean to us. Making images that capture a “Sense of Place” usually involves expressing symbolic ideas central to the meaning of the place, instead of just descriptively recording its…

PHOTOGRAPH | A Digital Quarterly Magazine for Creative Photographers
© 2012 Craft and Vision | PHOTOGRAPH | A Digital Quarterly Magazine for Creative Photographers “When it comes to composition, there are no rules . . . except, perhaps, never say never and always avoid saying always.

Life is a Journey | Adventure is Out There
© 2009 Wazari Wazir | Once Upon a Time in London “So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for…
