Until April 2009 I had never heard of him and never knowingly seen his photographs. He has been a professional photographer for only a few years and his work has obviously stirred up a good few people to think more about the pictures being created. David DuChemin's work and writing have completely resonated with me and, it would appear, a good few more. I've mentioned him already in this blog and make no apology for mentioning him again as he quite unapologetic about discussing vision - what you see and try to capture with your camera. His words explain this so much better than I can so check his website and blog. I just love his strapline - "Gear is good. Vision is better" and wish I had thought of it.
