Lands Of Milk And Honey

Back from Berlin. It was great as always. This time it was really, really hot, we had every day about 42 Celcius / 107.6 Fahrenheit. The city was unusually empty and slow. It was just too hot.

But nevertheless I was able to make some new work for my series Lands Of Milk And Honey and as well work for other projects.

The Top 11 Things Photographers wish they learned .....

The Top 11 Things Photographers wish they learned in Photo School

On Photoshelter's blog you can find out!!!

8) Where to find story ideas and things to photograph.
For many photographers, it's a challenge to come up with self-generated assignments - especially those that the photographer has a deep long-term interest in. A common misconception is that you need to travel far away to find a meaningful story. Great images are all around us, and photographers need to be open enough to see them.

"What I really wished I had learned earlier was that the best stories are the ones that are right under your nose. The stories in your community. The stories that a photographer can shoot over weeks, months or even years." - Scott Strazzante
