Will McFarlane is a force and one of the most respected people I know. If someone so obviously talented can feel the way you and I do about our work, I’d say there is no excuse for us to trust our eyes.

Thanks for all the great comments.

“It all starts at your eyes” yes this is true. However, the heart is moved by emotions. If it ends with the eyes, you only end up with pictures that are composed nicely. Emotion is the 3rd compositional element is that missing in so many pictures.

Great blog …. thanks E

In the fall of 1996, during photography school, I began interning at a studio embodying three extremely talented photographers. One of of them was Bruce DeBoer. The first day was a commercial shoot with Bruce for Audi. I learned more in that one day than from numerous other “school days” combined. I was blown away. 13 years later, and 2000 miles away, I’m still learning from him. Great post B… keep em’ coming.

Great interviews (parts 1 & 2).

Will, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience of creativity and the evolution of your creative process. Your insight speaks directly and profoundly to the photography arena.

Thank you, Bruce, for bringing this rich and vibrant tapestry to us.

I agree “It all starts at your eyes” I remember my old Photographer friend use to say that the camera is just a tool. it doesn’t matter what camera that you use. its that what you see. Thanks

“Comparisons keep me from starting the photograph from my eyes. Comparisons turn me tentative. Could I do that? No. It’s a trap, there’s no truth found by going there.”

There is so much truth in this statement…it speaks to me on so many levels.

Could I? I know I can, but the comparison stops the flow of the creative. Absorb and produce the emotion that is inside of you. If the result wasn’t what you were hoping for at least you created…and learned something about your work…yourself.

Now I’ll watch the video.

In the video, Will McFarlane speaks about music and the creative process. Everything he shares translates to photography and the processes of learning, putting yourself out there and creating. To me, what he speaks of makes me ponder and evaluate myself in the same way that Zack Arias’s video did. Thank you.
