06/08/2002 Entry: "Refining the Details"
Sam Abell is a longtime National Geographic photographer who has shot many famous stories for the magazine. He is soon to release a book called The Photographic Life.
There are many lessons to be learned in the photo outtakes that are here. One can see the sequence of photos he took before refining the details of the photograph and making the photograph that brings everything together. I find this photo beautiful in its backlit light, the nearly monochrome colors, and the silhouette of the father hunched over the boat and breaking the horizon.
