In photography, incident light is the light cast upon a subject. When I take pictures, I expose for incident light, because that gives more truthful and more poetic results than exposing for reflected light. I hope that my criticism and commentary will cast light on subjects that interest you.
I am an independent critic and photographer living in San Antonio, Texas. I am the author of The Poetics of Cities (Ohio State University Press, 1995), which argues that the purpose of cities is to foster the exchange of ideas, money, goods and beliefs; that such exchange is the foundation of value creation; and that urban form in the small and in the large affects the propensity for exchange to occur. I was a Knight Fellow at Stanford University in 1986-87. I also have served as managing editor of Chicago Magazine and was a critic and columnist for a daily newspaper for 28 years.
