Stones on the Beach Newsletter, February 6, 2024
I realize that newsletters can be boring for some readers because we artists and photographers like to sell you stuff, our work, our services. It goes with the business of the profession, naturally. So my late New Year’s gift to you is leaving all of it out this month.

I’ll focus instead on three of the most important ones that I believe will help you take better candid shots on your next street photography adventure.
