A MADE PHOTOGRAPHER

Here's a quick update on another Bisbee photographer, the late Herb Faris. Herb, when I first met him, was a retired Hollywood cinematographer. Not surprisingly, he was also one heck of a photographer. Herb told me one time that he had never taken a picture. He made pictures. What hwe meant is that he controlled every aspect of the photographic process. Nothing was left to chance. While most of us are less exacting than Herb, we can still learn a lot from his approach. So, nthe next time you're out shooting, try making a photograph rather than just taking one.
