Photographic Intimacy



Angle of Repose, originally uploaded by jjvornov.

The weather is warmer and I have the Sigma DP1 to carry everywhere. The Nikon D300 sits on my desk like a brick. It waits.

I’m finding it easier and easier to use the DP1 to capture images, knowing what I’ll be able to do in post processing. The sharpness of the lens and film-like qualit of the images is leading me to a more intimate portrayal of the Suburban Landscape than I was pursuing through the Fall and Winter.

I can get these glowingly lit shots easily with the DP1, so I imagine I’ll be mining this vein for a few weeks at least.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
