Photograph of the Month
NEWS
Basic Flash Class
This Sunday, Nov. 1, I'll be back at Working With Artists in Lakewood, Colorado, teaching a class on Basic Flash Photography. I'll help you to go past all those confusing buttons, switches and auto-modes to get to what's REALLY important: Making beautiful light. Call Working With Artists at (303) 837-1341, or check out the class on the web HERE.
I'll also be at WWA on the following Sunday, participating in their "Sample Days," which runs all that weekend, Nov. 7-8. Come on down and check out all the classes that Working With Artists has to offer, and maybe I'll see you there!

Just the other day, I had the pleasure of talking with one of the readers of this newsletter, and she told me that one of the things she really enjoyed about my photographs (and the writing) was my ability to conjure a feeling about the subject. What she said is important to me, because I've always believed that that ability is a big part of what art should be about.
As an ironic example of why, here are two images that I exposed just a few weeks ago in the eastern foothills of the Rockies here in Colorado. If you live outside of the state, there's a good chance you're still experiencing the beauty of the season, and the pictures may suggest the clear light that makes the leaves glow so wonderfully.
Then again, if you ARE in Colorado, then these photographs are a reminder of the season that has appeared lost for the last two days under more than a foot of snow. To you, I say, "Let me help to bring back that feeling of 'fall' for just a little longer. The sun is out again, the air is crisp, the snow is melting. It's NOT winter yet!"
I hope you enjoy the images and a crisp Halloween tomorrow; and I'll see you again next month.
Fine-art photographer Zachary Singer has had a camera in hand since childhood—more than three decades now. He came to fine-art photography through his experiences in photojournalism: While shooting for Greenpeace and other environmental groups, as well as Native American tribes in the Southwest, Zach learned to quickly capture the essence of his subjects.
Zach has written dozens of articles on photography for magazines such as Outdoor Photographer, PCPhoto, and Digital Photo Pro, and has taught photography at California’s Santa Monica College. When time permits, he works with a select group of commercial clients.
