Why “Tipped from the Top Floor”?

August 9, 2006 · 2 Comments

First, I love puns.

Second, and probably more importantly, I always promised myself I would blog about trying to improve my photography.  Chris Marquadt has been producing his Tips from the Top Floor podcasts for well over a year now, and I have been a long time listener.  I haven’t attempted many of his assignments, nor shown many of my pictures on the Listener’s forum, so I figured I wasn’t making the best use of the lessons he offers.  So this is a public commitment to try to expose more of my pictures and to write about what I am thinking when making a picture.

The event that pushed me to this was the photography workshop that Chris will be running in September, and which I shall be attending.  There are a number of people who contribute regularly to the forum, some of whom were very disappointed that they were not able to go to the workshop.  I don’t know whether it’s any consolation, but I intend to write a journal about the workshop.  It may only be daily, but as Chris will be providing internet access, it might well be more frequent than that.
