Thank you so much!

You are very welcome!

Thanks @30pinkpumkin: yes, the terminology can be a little confusing because of course a "light box" is a modifier used in studio photography. Generally, with light box photography, a light pad refers to the newer LED-style devices, when you say "light box" it could mean that, or something more like a box, like the old slide sorting boxes I started out on. Glad you've enjoyed my video!

Thanks Frank! Going back to my older images and understanding the process can become a bit like an exercise in forensics! But I do retain all the stages in my archives. So maybe I'll do this someday and create a detailed webinar for The Road Less Traveled...

Thank you very much!

You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed!

So glad you enjoyed my preso!

Merci beaucoup!

Thank you very much! I'm glad David is working out for you, he is very good.

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed!

@@Digitalfieldguide Harold, I enjoyed very, very much. And I have to try that! Best wishes!

It was great having you! I hope you are well....

Great! Hope he was able to help!

@@Digitalfieldguide he’s now handling a lot of cases for me. It is such a relief to have his help. I was trying to handle these things by myself and it never ended well.

You bet!

Bob, thank for your comment. We really appreciate it! Harold & Phyllis

Great, please let me know what you think!

Duncan makes sense to me!

I've had good luck with Prism Silks, prismsilks.com/.

Very glad it is helpful!

Very glad you've found my videos helpful! Thanks for commenting.

Thank you for the kind words, Laura! I'll list some books below which we recommend to our workshop participants, having to do with the science and mechanics of visual expression. Still, I wanted to preface this list with a more general recommendation: since meaning is ultimately subjective, having to do with the kind of person you are, your relationship with the places and subjects you photograph, etc., you may well discover deeper meaning and inspiration from researching things that are personally meaningful to you. For example, since Michael and I work largely in desert environments, we find inspiration in books like "The Desert" by John C. Van Dyke. In this vein, we can both rattle off a long list of books that have little to do with photography, and more with the landscapes we work in. With that in mind, these are some of the books we recommend for improving one's creative and expressive skills: - Art and Visual Perception / Rudolf Arnheim - Perception and Imaging / Richard Zakia & James Suler - Feeling Beauty / G. Gabrielle Starr - Picture This / Mollie Bang - The Psychology of Visual Art / George Mather I hope this helps, Guy

Robyn, you are very welcome. About the relatives in NSW Australia, I am a bit skeptical. I think "Davis" in Australia most likely indicates Welsh ancestry. My paternal ancestors were eastern Europeans displaced in the Holocaust, with a name change towards Anglicization in the immigration process. Although, that said, there were displacements of my relatives---those that survived---all over the world, and we have largely lost touch. My very best wishes, Harold

Thanks! Yes, these are photographic prints made in my studio, on Awagami washi and a variety of (mostly) papers from Moab by Legion Paper.

Hi Lynn, I am so glad you have found these webinars helpful! Very best wishes, Harold

Thanks!

Irina glad you like it, and it is useful! Very best wishes, Harold

Very please that it is helpful, particularly in these times!

Thanks Al---great to have Guy and Michael onboard for a discussion, and hope we do a repeat! Very best wishes, Harold

That's great! Best wishes, and stay creative! Harold

Thanks Richard for your comment! I appreciate it! Harold

@Terry Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed! Harold

@Richard I am pleased the material is helpful! I think nothing beats an in-person workshop, but yes geography is the rub (along with Covid). Very best wishes, Harold

I've sent this question along to Guy Tal, as I think he might best address it. Also, I do believe there are some of these resources within the webinar video.

Thank you for the interest, Kevin! For a general discussion of Mindfulness I recommend the books of Jon Kabat-Zinn (there are several of them, just type his name into Amazon to help you decide which is best for you). Or, if you prefer a more "down to earth" (humorous, even a little sarcastic) discussion, I recommend Robert Wright's book "Why Buddhism is True" (in case you're worried, he does *not* try to convince you to become a Buddhist, he gives a good review of some of the science of mindfulness and meditation). Visual expression is a much more complex topic, and alas there are no authoritative or complete references about it. If you're curious to understand the reasons (along with some references to relevant books), I recently wrote a 3-part series on this subject on my blog. With Harold's permission, here are links to the 3 articles: guytal.blog/2021/05/27/the-clearest-and-strongest-way-of-seeing-part-i/ guytal.blog/2021/06/08/the-clearest-and-strongest-way-of-seeing-part-ii/ guytal.blog/2021/07/07/the-clearest-and-strongest-way-of-seeing-part-iii/

@@guytal6607 Thank you for the response and information. I enjoy the Zen Buddhist philosophy and try to incorporate it into my photography. I also ordered your book More than a rock. I look forward to reading it. Thank you again for your assistance.
