Welcome to Kept Light Photography

Welcome to Kept Light Photography. This site is the result of more than two decades of writing, discussing, analyzing, and presenting content about photography. As you can find elsewhere on this site under the About menu block, I have been involved in photography for over six decades, had many exhibits, gave birth to a ballet, ran workshops, and made presentations.

You will find close to seven hundred articles on this site on various aspects of this art form. Some are technical, some theoretical, and a few on general subject matters. I hope you enjoy your visit and come back again to explore the rich content hidden under a simple facade.

The blocks below may provide a guide to the recent articles as well as what I consider to be foundation articles. They focus on the nature of the photographic art form and may offer ways of seeing things as well as practicing photography.
