Introduction

THE HUMOR OF IT
BY DONNA POINTKOUSKI
A Monthly - Weekend With Shades - Column





"What's so funny about photography?" That was my question when footnoteMaven asked me to write a monthly humor column for Shades of the Departed. But I realized that humor is merely a different way of looking at things. The art of photography, the role of a photographer, and the act of having your photo taken can be quite a serious endeavor. But, if you look at the process through a different lens, it can be downright hysterical. Join me once a month on Weekend with Shades as I explore The Humor of It - Through a Different Lens.

Donna Pointkouski got her first camera at the age of 11 and she hasn't stopped taking photographs yet. Although the format and the subject of her photography have changed over the years, she continually seeks to see the humor of it all.
