The Philosophy
The Everyman believes that anyone who has ever taken pictures in their life, has taken good pictures. One of the primary differences between professionals and non-professionals is how reliably they can get the good shot. because, photography, like any art, is meant to capture a moment, convey a feeling, tell a story, it is erroneous to believe that in order for a photo to be effective or artistic it must have formal composition, ideal lighting or, and most importantly, be taken by a professional.


My entry won an Honorable Mention  in the competition in 2009 (see above).

The posted photo was taken in Hollywood, California using Tri-X film ISO 400 pushed to 800 to add more contrast during the processing. I used my dependable 35MM Pentax Spotmatic coupled with it's 1.2  50mm FX lens .
