Canon 1Ds II and f2.8 24-70mm USM lens, shot from a Robinson 22 helicopter. The River is the Murray near Mildura, in Northern Victoria, Australia.People often ask me what is the best camera to buy? How do you do that in Photoshop? It seems that the how to do, or what equipment you should have is to most people what photography is all about. The reality of course is that equipment while important, is not the most important aspect of our profession.
Back long long ago, when I was a newbie to this mad game we call professional photography an old timer told me that it was all about the "eye" as he put it. Now days we are more likely to talk about the thought process behind a photograph or the visual appeal of an image but in reality it is much the same thing. If my fading memory serves me correctly it was Cartier Bresson , who famously said, "There is nothing worse than a sharp rendition of a fuzzy idea!"
Today I'd like to point you to some beautiful black and white imagery by Tom Stoddard, all shot in black and white, beautiful, powerful, strong in message and devoid of gimmicks. Go check out his work here.. and be moved.
