The Wizard unveiled

When I look at great photographs and portraits, I often forget that the person behind them is just . . . a person behind them. Brilliant, yes; larger than life, sure, to me anyways; creative, beyond belief; human, well, that part may often be forgotten. This interview with Joel reminds me that great photographers, are for the most part, "regular Joe's", only with a lot of talent. As Joel implies, it is developed by a strong work ethic, and practice. Giving your creativity an opportunity to develop. This was a great interview by Tamara, and Joel seems like a very real and personable guy. Willing to share his knowledge and helping future photographers reach their potential. I was inspired. Very Cool

This is not unique nor is it art

There must be thousands of people out there doing these treatments on photos. THerefore, it isn't unique, and if it isn't unique, I doubt you can call it art. Plus the compositions and backgrounds are so predictable. Seems like a nice, smart guy and a great technician. Art isn't announced, its earned. Try harder.

A real artist.

Very fresh interview and his point of view of his work as artist is just what I think of myself. And of course, his work is just supreme. If I had to choose one photographer he would be the one, a raw model as a professional photographer and more important as an artist.
