Chris Orwig:The Poetics of Pictures

Chris does excellent TedX presentation on how photos can be like poetry. Some nice examples of his work and some good thoughts.

Good thoughts indeed

Q: how do i take more interesting photos?
A: become a more interesting person

... Thats a good one

i really like the whole "become a poet" approach,
technique alone is absolutely not enough.

Very nice. Thanks for posting this Mark.

I've always been a man of few words, and I think my photography reflects that. I also write poetry occasionally, including Haiku, which is very highly distilled. I sometimes think of a sort of visual Haiku when I'm composing a photo.

Been a fan of Orwig's teaching for ages now.
He's among one of the most engaging photography teachers I've ever seen.
