I started Light Diary for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that I wanted a place to share an increasingly large body of both personal and assignment work. I also wanted to combine the diary of images seen here with a series of Vidcasts that would let me tell the stories behind the images and also talk some about how and why the images were made.

My plan for Light Diary is to post three to five images a week. Each image will be posted with a title and a little technical info.

Several times a month I will be publishing a Light Diary Vidcast that will be a companion to the diary of images you will see here. Each week of images will usually represent a theme of sorts. The Vidcasts will tell the stories behind the images.

Your questions and feedback about the photographs will also play a role in shaping the Light Diary Vidcasts.

The companion Vidcasts can be downloaded at the The Mindful Eye web site. To your right, at the top corner of this page, under blogroll, you can click on Light Diary Vidcasts to get to the download page or just click here.

If you join Light Diary as a registered user you will get an email from me when each new Light Diary Vidcast Episode posts. You will also get a pre-announcement about new workshops which will allow you to hold a space on my workshops before they are listed anywhere online.

Teaching has become a big part of my life as an artist and doing my best to inspire others to be true to their dreams is about as close to a true purpose for my life as I have found…..So I hope you find the photographs and the stories of process in the Light Diary Vidcasts entertaining…and “in a perfect world” I hope you find occassional inspiration too.
