Dear
Cole,
Happy
New Year! With so much gone wrong in
the world today it's easy to forget that most of
life and people are still very good.
Perhaps it's all about what you focus on, so this
year I'm planning to focus more on the
good. I hope you'll join
me. Cole

California
I've just spent
a week in California where I visited Little Corona
(top of page) and once again returned to my
favorite spot, La Jolla Cove in San Diego
(above). In January I'll be spending time in
Death Valley and La Jolla to produce two
Instructional DVD's which you can read about
below. |
Book
Drawing
(Why Photographs Work, By
George Barr)
I've just
received my copies of "Why Photographs Work" by
George Barr. This book takes a look at 52
iconic images and analyzes why they work.
Included is one of my Auschwitz images, George's
analysis of it and my comments about the
experience. To enter the drawing,
please send an email to Cole@ColeThompsonPhotography.com
with "Why Photographs Work" in the subject
line. Good luck! |
The
Fountainhead
(The
Fountainhead No. 85 - San Diego, CA -
2010)
It was two years ago
that I was driving through downtown San Diego when
the idea behind The Fountainhead struck me.
This project has been a labor of love because the
first two loves in my life were architecture and
photography. An additional benefit of the
series is that I get to pay homage to one of my
favorite books; "The Fountainhead." It is
the story of an architect who is true to self,
regardless of the cost.
These additional
images were created in San Diego, where the idea
was born.

portfolio.

Instructional
DVD's
(Time
No. 2 - Death Valley, CA -
2008)
In January I'll be
spending a week in Death Valley and then some time
in La Jolla, CA to produce two instructional
DVD's. The first is on Black and White
Photography and the second on Long
Exposures. I have a passion for both of
these topics and so I really look forward to the
experience!
The DVD's are produced by Master Photo Workshops and
I'll keep you posted when they'll be
available.
