Chris Orwig: Finding the Magnificent in the Mundane
By Tom in Inspiration, People, Video
I recently picked up Chris Orwig’s latest book “People Pictures”. The book demonstrates 30 techniques in capturing engaging portraits. I hope to implement these techniques as I continue to expand and grow in regards to my people photography.
Chris Orwig is an inspiration and one of my favorite photographers and teachers of the art of photography. His simplistic approach to photography I incorporate often in my own photography. Simplicity and minimalism evokes emotion and allows a viewer to explore the photograph further than simply viewing a photograph. Orwig’s work has inspired me in many ways; one aspect of his work that I greatly admire is his almost exclusive work with natural light. His work is evocative, provoking, and meaningful. Here is Chris on his latest TEDx Talk – Finding the magnificient in the Mundane.
Photography is savouring life at 1/100th of a second. – Marc Riboud.

Carrera
By Tom in AutomotiveThe Porsche Carrera name has been used by Porsche since 1960s. The Carrera is available as many different versions including four-wheel drive, convertibles, and race-bred RS models to name a few. Even though the Carrera was introduced decades ago it remains one of the premier and most sought after sports cars on the market. Also its longevity has allowed Porsche to be one of the most recognizable sports cars on the market and maintains a respected following and place in the automotive performance market.
Everything has been figured out, except how to live. – Jean-Paul Sartre

Details
By Tom in AutomotiveAutomobiles are a means of transportation They are also as a whole parts of many considerations in design and engineering. Sometimes cars have recycled parts and design cues taken from similar vehicles of the same manufacturer and sometimes they are unique. Capturing details reveals the attention put forward. The small details of each part create a car that becomes luxury, speed, power, and art.
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. – Thomas Merton
