Fresh Plums • John Glick

What are “Fresh Plums” anyway? Fresh ideas, thoughts.

Hmmmm!

Something about a flowing and changing place to discuss ideas, technical things and so forth.

The title comes from my studio name, Plum Tree Pottery, and was suggested by Susie Symons, my wife. Thank you.

This is a very non-blog, blog. Blogs are presumably incremental . I don’t want to dribble this information out. So, what you get is the whole batch of information to get you further along ...right away.

I hope that is the way you would have wanted it.

That is what I would have wanted if the tables were turned.

This is for potters trying to learn enough to get good results which can empower one to learn more and more as time and experience allow.

This is not the comprehensive, all in one service for every question. I have temporarily avoided some of the more specific areas such as the fine points of JPEG, TIFF and RAW files . I will, at a later date, return to those kinds of issues with some hopefully clear distinctions to ponder the next time  you read the requirements listed in yet another exhibition announcement.

For example: 10 MP JPEG files ! What ?

                Onward

OOPS!

A FINAL THOUGHT

I welcome feed back, corrections or constructive criticism and yes, even compliments.

PLEASE, no Q&A as I am a full time potter who needs to devote time to those ends ! But, I have added a place for comments at the end of each page.

I humbly and gratefully offer profound thanks to those who have so generously enabled me to pursue this small enterprise.

To Phyllis Evans , friend, software and hardware wrangler and mother Mac superior, for endless wisdom!

To Will Ruggles, fine potter and peerless camera and lens jockey. A fine tutor!

To William Hunt, Warren Fredrick and Gary Hatcher, all of whom have dialogued, debugged my thinking and been tirelessly helpful.

Finally, to Rosti Eismont, my friend and the designer of my studio  web site. Rosti, your consistent caring about quality and design and meaning are a welcome and necessary foundation for me.
