SUMMARY:How (and Why!) I Process my Images: Confessions of a Digital Manipu
 lator - Steve Zigler
DESCRIPTION:\n\nHow (and Why!) I Process my Images: Confessions of a Digita
 l Manipulator\nBy: Steve Zigler\nPhotography has always been a journey for
  me. Whether it is in the literal form of a trip to a new location\, learn
 ing a new processing technique\, or doing something as simple as printing 
 on a new paper\, photography is always a discovery process.\n\nSome of my 
 most significant photographic journeys began with simple questions. The jo
 urneys toward the answers have taken me in many unexpected directions and 
 yielded some surprising revelations. I’ve studied topics ranging from ho
 w we perceive images to how we can edit them. I’ve gone down more rabbit
  holes than I can count\, but eventually some concepts came together that 
 ultimately changed my entire approach to photography. In short\, I began t
 o learn to create original\, self-expressive images. As a result\, I can c
 onfidently say that I’m happier with my photography now than ever before
 . And that’s saying a lot coming from an OCD perfectionist control freak
 !\n\nOf course\, learning is a never-ending process and I’m still at it.
  However\, I’m at a point now where I can share my journey and I’m loo
 king forward to doing that during my program\, which I have entitled “Co
 nfessions of a Digital Manipulator.” I believe Ansel would be proud of m
 e.\n\nWhile we’re together\, I’ll consider three simple questions:\n\n
 1.	Is it OK to process my images?\n2.	Why do some images work?\n3.	How can
  I make original images?\n\nI hope you find some meaningful tidbits that w
 ill help you during your personal photographic journeys\, regardless of wh
 ether you’re a digital manipulator or not!\n\n\nBio for Steve Zigler\nSt
 eve Zigler has never been a professional photographer and rarely sells a p
 hotograph. Instead\, Steve makes his living as a chemist at Siemens PETNET
  Solutions in Knoxville\, Tennessee\, where he helps develop and commercia
 lize radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic PET scans. Steve thrives on the c
 ombination of art and science that creates a photographic image\, but he p
 romises not to use the word “photon” anywhere in this program. He trav
 els extensively\, focusing on amazing landscapes wherever he can find them
  in east Tennessee\, the US\, and across the globe. His simple mission is 
 to touch the hearts and minds of people around the world through photograp
 hy to help them connect with themselves\, the planet\, and the universe. W
 hen he’s not in the field with his camera\, behind a computer processing
  images\, or planning his next trip\, Steve shares his infectious enthusia
 sm for photography through educational programs at the University of Tenne
 ssee\, the Tremont Institute\, and as a photography evangelist.\n\nYou can
  learn more about Steve and view his work at his website (www.stevezigler.
 com) which is in serious need of an update. Also\, check him out on Facebo
 ok\, Instagram\, and his blog at https://stevezigler.wordpress.com.\n
