More reading and experimenting

I like John Hedgecoe's books; so far I've read one I borrowed from the library, and two or three more while I was sitting in a local bookstore. I find that his methods of breaking down color, form, shape, tone, etc., are clear and easy to understand. I have been experimenting again in my free time lately, trying to take photos and then analyze what's good and what's not about them. Without a model, I've resorted to nature as my subject again. Nature has two advantages over models: It costs nothing and it's always there when I need it.
