The first photograph chosen for the 2025 Women Artists of the DMV survey show comes from the camera of a great photographer whose work I've admired and seen grow and diversify and cross boundaries for probably three decades or more.
Camille Mosley-Pasley can teach lessons - not only on how to take a great portrait photograph, which she can easily do, but also on how hard work and a spectacular work ethic can help deliver results.
For the survey show I selected "I have chosen Impatience serves no purpose. I am trying to learn patience. I count grains of sand and stars. I have no desire to learn acceptance," a gorgeous photograph that should be used in every art school on the planet to teach not only amazing composition in planes (note the six different linear horizons in the photo cleverly broken by the vertical figure which is peaked by a triangle of light), but an intelligent marriage of image, psychology and masterful titling abilities.
Behold "I have chosen Impatience serves no purpose. I am trying to learn patience. I count grains of sand and stars. I have no desire to learn acceptance"
