Ben Neubauer left a comment for Marilyn O'Hara"Thank you. Yes, this confirms the conclusions that I've come to in the past, but question from time to time when I wish I could afford to have more of my work photographed. You are so right. I should concentrate my efforts on what I'm good…"
Marilyn O'Hara left a comment for Ben Neubauer"Hi Ben,
You bring up very good questions. Questions that artists asked themselves time and again. My experience is that you can get 'ok' photos from inexpensive equipment with the right lighting and setup but it would not be the high…"

- Thank you. Yes, this confirms the conclusions that I've come to in the past, but question from time to time when I wish I could afford to have more of my work photographed. You are so right. I should concentrate my efforts on what I'm good at and not try to do everything myself.

- Thanks for inviting me to connect with you. I'm interested in your work as a photographer. I'd like to be able to photograph my own work, but feel like getting really good results is beyond my ability. Do you think it is necessary to use expensive equipment to get great results? And do you think that learning to take great photos of jewelry is something that is worth an artist's time, in order to save the $1,000 or so I currently spend on photography each year?

NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson makes us think about ceramic materials in a new and dynamic way. Her installation, site specific, fired and unfired work all has an emphasis on time, material and transformation. Linda generously shared her time and thoughts with me about her current studio practice and the path that has led her there. I hope you enjoy this interview with Linda Swanson. You can see more of her work at: …See More
