Life is not significant details, illuminated by a flash, fixed forever. Photographs are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life rarely presents fully finished photographs. An image evolves, often from a single strand of visual interest - a distant horizon, a moment of light, a held expression.
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
Essentially what photography is is life lit up.
Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.
The end of a picture is always an end of a life.
If you are truly successful in capturing the pulse of life, then you can speak of a good photograph.
A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.
Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes.
Photographers usually want to photograph facts and things. But I'm interested in the nature of the thing itself. A photograph of someone sleeping tells me nothing about their dream state; a photograph of a corpse tells me nothing about the nature of death. My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient.
