		<title>A Hasselblad Masters Finalist. Who, Me?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m humbled. I&#8217;m a Hasselblad Masters Finalist. No, really, I am. Some time around the middle of last year I entered the Hasselblad Masters Competition and promptly forgot about it. Then I got a &#8220;congratulations&#8221; email from Hasselblad. And, thinking that everyone who entered got one, thought nothing of it until I went to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creative Thinking And Hard Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During one of my recent web dalliances to read more about how photographers, or humans in general, are creative, I found a 2004 paper published in the Psychonomic Bulletin &#38; Review called, The Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity by Arne Dietrich, who is at the American University of Beirut, in Lebanon. He&#8217;s actually a very funny [...]]]></description>

		<title>Playing with Dolls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I grew up playing deep-sea diver, cowboys and Indians, and playing war games. My parents encouraged it, I don’t know why. I would have never called dolls I owned &#8220;dolls&#8221; but soldiers and warriors and my time was spent setting them up to kill the bad guys. So here I am, years later, still playing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter Works. Really. It Does.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twitter works. Maybe in mysterious ways, but it works. Since I started tweeting a little less than a year ago I have been asked to write for Leaf Digital, Photocrew, The Photo Argus and other photo communities and blogs. I&#8217;ve met some pretty interesting photographers, retouchers, assistants and art directors. Many are just people I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Quest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I put an ad up on Craigslist in February for a food stylist and much to my surprise, there were responses from 2 chefs: Corey Earling, the third place runner up from Gordon Ramsay&#8217;s Hell&#8217;s Kitchen (season four) and Rob Endelman, a wonderful natural food chef and educator. These responses plus responses from 5 other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back Pain&#8230; Only a Memory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a lifetime of back pain, I am now starting my third year of life, pain-free. A little over two years ago, Dr. Doug Schottenstein, treated my chronic back pain with a facet block. The procedure is called radiofrequency (RF) rhizotomy and basically, he just disabled the nerves and the pain stopped almost overnight. As a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greenmarket in the Studio # 11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My fruits and vegetables have taken on a new purpose as props for expensive jewelry. I love the earthy quality of root vegetables against the gloss and glow of gemstones set in precious metal. And in this case, I just love the word &#8211; rutabaga. I think Bugs Bunny used the word once in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Do You Sell?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if there are any formulas, books or websites for quitting, like there are for starting businesses. I didn&#8217;t see, &#8220;When to Quit Investing in Your Losing Business Venture,&#8221; on Amazon.  But I did a search for those words and what did I get? Mostly I found links to information on starting a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greenmarket in the Studio #10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A vision evolving. While in the process of this particular exploration I&#8217;m finding there is a lot of failure. Not failure in the sense of exposure or composition, but failure in concept and vision. And, there&#8217;s certainly no value in putting images into my book simply because I did it. Right now, I&#8217;m developing the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greenmarket in the Studio #9 (onward to 2010)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a dozen onions and brought them into the studio for the usual shoot &#8216;em and eat &#8216;em routine. One by one I placed them on set and, one by one, little personalities revealed themselves. These are the year-end onions, the ones that aren&#8217;t in the best of shape, but are still worth eating.
