The latest issue of Insights unveils new work. The work is drawn from or influenced by a recent trip to Antarctica. You can see the work and read about that trip on my website; this newsletter will guide you to the currently available resources. More will develop. A return is planned for 2007. Much of the work has never been seen before. The first few prints in an edition are always the most affordable. Introductory print prices are available. These are just a few of the many unique opportunities Insights offers subscribers.
Best wishes, John Paul _________________________________________________________

The most powerful creative techniques provide an opportunity for you to shift your perspective. The most powerful technique of all is reversal. Shift your perspective 180 degrees. Make an observation or assertion. Then make an observation from the opposite perspective or assert the opposite. Use this as a tool for exploration. Many ideas will come to light. It may take a little practice to find the real utility in any technique, so don't give up too quickly. You'll also find every technique has it's limitations; this technique leads you towards framing things as dichotomies (either/or choices) rather than dialetics (spectrums of possibilities). How has this helped me? Let me count the ways! Here's one. It's been tremendously stimulating for me to constantly shift between making straight photographs and altered images.
