Response to "Shooting the Single Picture"

I really liked this reading. I think the conversation format read a little weird, but I don't think it would have had the same effect if it didn't have that. Both authors have interesting points of view, and I liked that they also brought in other peoples experiences and methods instead of only their own. It got really rushed at the end though, which made me feel like what they were throwing out there in concept at the end was less important when I reread it to find good points even though what I was looking for was actually in one of the last few paragraphs. The idea of taking a work print and cutting it up and reassembling it into the intended composition seems like a really good idea to me, since if there's anything off in it you can correct that and see if it would work the way you originally intended it to or in some other way. It also would allow you to come up with ideas if you were going to reshoot a subject so you can plan ahead. I also liked the emphasis on shooting a lot of images, especially with the walkthrough of a few of the authors photographs.
