To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world.
Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you. In this way, you might discover who you are, and with a little luck, you might discover something much larger than yourself.
Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made.
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
How the visual world appears is important to me. I'm always aware of the light. I'm always aware of what I would call the 'deep composition.' Photography in the field is a process of creation, of thought and technique. But ultimately, it's an act of imaginatively seeing from within yourself.
Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.
Photography has always been about documentary, the depiction of the instant, a moment, sometimes a place. Each project is somehow an experimentation of a specific context or a character.
Photography forces one out into the world, interacting with people and the environment. It flexes all those right brain, spatially-adept muscles.
Photography is about finding things. And painting is different - it's about making something.
I've always thought photography is not so much of an art form but a way of communicating and passing on information.
