23.04.2018 at 15:18Thank you John for your newsletters – I find them enjoyable and informational too. I just wanted to respond that over the years of being a photographer (always a process in learning) I have found Georgia O’Keefe’s work to be inspirational and informative. I have numerous books of photographers work as well as painters etc. (including O’Keefe). Both photographers and other artists have provided endless learning opportunities for me on how to “see”, use color and light, and the art of expression. They’ve provided food for thought, interpretation, and lessons in the technical aspects of photography. I once tried to recreate a Matisse still life just to try and understand light and what he was looking at. This of course is my personal experience and opinion of course :). My response is not in any way meant to be argumentative, just another thought and input to discussion 🙂
