You want to make the photograph work in every way possible. Doesn't matter where it is in the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Wherever there is light, one can photograph.
We have been endowed with the capacity and the power to create desirable pictures within and to find them automatically in the outer world of our environment.
The world just does not fit conveniently into the format of a 35mm camera.
In the South or in the mine country, wherever you point the camera there is a picture.
Photograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.
I do not want to work to correspond to an image.
The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.
I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.
If you think you're going to create an unposed photograph, think again. There is no such thing.
A mad, keen photographer needs to get out into the world and work and make mistakes.
