Artist Statement: They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but my photographs strive for more. I document life--capturing emotions and provoking thought. My pictures serve as a mirror, not only reflecting the truth in existence, but also providing the viewer a glimpse back through my lens, past the viewfinder, and straight into my spirit/soul.

Photo Critiques

It seems like anyone with an SLR camera seems to fancy themselves a "photographer," but there's a huge difference between "taking pictures" and "being an artistic chronicler." I could rant for hours about all the terrible photographs I've been subjected to--instead I'm going to do something about it. I plan to offer you unprecedented access to my brain, eyes, heart, and yes, even my soul. Every few weeks I'll pick a theme and you'll have the opportunity to submit your photos to my blog; a few lucky individuals will have theirs critiqued by me. The tips and insight I'm offering are sure to make anyone who pays careful attention to what I say (and what I don't say), fantastically better. And who knows, maybe you'll even teach me something in the process.

This week's theme is "Femininity." From my mother to that gorgeous senior who robbed me of my v-card to Marian Robinson, I've been fascinated by strong, smart, beautiful women. Here's your chance to honor the female form, to show that women have come far enough that they can be both powerful and sexy. Really explore what "femininity" means to you and don't be afraid to get provocative. True photographers take risks and bare everything, including the most intimate details of their essence.

To submit, just use the form on the right hand side of the blog. You can even use Facebook Connect if you want.

Submit your photo in order to be critiqued by yours truly, Ryan Howard.
