Hi ,

I hope you've been having a great summer so far. Today I wanted to share Photography tip that I think can help you with your compositions and also let you know about an upcoming event this weekend.

In this video below, I talk about the concept of using unity and variety in your photography, which, in simple terms, equates to "same but different."

There are so many ways you can incorporate this idea into your compositions. Maybe this video will inspire you to try some new things the next time you're looking at a subject, and trying to decide what to include in the photo, and how to arrange different elements into your frame.

This is actually one of the lessons in my Photography on the Brain course; I'm giving it to you for free today, so I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.

Join me in Tucson This Weekend!

I'll be in Tucson this weekend for the Southeast Arizona Birding Festival, August 8-11. I'm doing an in-class workshop on focusing techniques on Saturday morning Aug 10, and then a field session immediately following. I'll also be hanging around at the expo if you want to come by and say hi. 

This will be my second year in a row attending this festival as an instructor. I'm excited they asked me back, so, if you find yourself in Arizona this week, consider stopping by.

You find out more information about the festival here. Hope to see you if you can make it!

As always, thanks for reading and have a great week!
