Sometimes I even scare myself.
In April I went to Japan for a week, and as usual I captured a lot of photos. As you might have guessed I love photography. I love taking pictures. And as I’ve said before, I would probably even take pictures if I didn’t have a CompactFlash card in my camera. […]
OK, so maybe I’m not exactly addicted to bad photos, but I certainly capture a lot of them. And I don’t just mean that I’m a bad photographer (though I’m not claiming to be good either). I mean there are plenty of times when I take a picture knowing full well that it isn’t going […]
I got my “real” start in photography in high school, when I took a photography class and spent many untold hours in the wet darkroom, producing prints from my black and white negatives. I spent many years working with film, but jumped into digital quite early, and for the most part haven’t looked back.

I shouldn’t even be writing this blog post, but here I am. Blame it on the relief of finally getting the Winter 2008 issue of Digital Darkroom Quarterly out the door, a bit late because of various “challenges”.

OK, actually the title of this blog entry should have been “Mixed Feelings”. But I decided to be more provocative than that…
I ran across a video on YouTube of Annie Leibovitz photographing Queen Elizabeth in the UK. It was interesting for a variety of reasons, with the biggest reason to me being that it was […]
In case it wasn’t obvious, I love photography. And while I don’t pretend to be a great photographer, I love working to improve my photography and finding new ways to enjoy the craft.
One of the things I learned long ago is that I need to have a camera with me at all times to record […]
When someone is preparing to introduce me at a speaking engagement, they often ask me how many books I’ve written. You’d think that would be a simple question to answer, but I always have a difficult time and answer “that depends on how you count them”. You see, a “clause” is required for me to […]
This weekend I finally launched an updated look for my website at www.timgrey.com. As I watched the files uploaded and checked out the new site “live” for the first time, it felt very cleansing. There’s something about a fresh start that is incredibly revitalizing.
This got me thinking about how I’ve made a conscious effort at […]
