I NEVER CROP. I LINE VERTICALS UP. I CALMLY AND SENSITIVELY PHOTOGRAPH MY SUBJECT. FALLING IN LOVE WITH IT/HIM/HER, MOMENTARILY. THE FOCUS OF ALL OF MY ATTENTIONS. ANY NERVES HAVE LONG SINCE DISAPPEARED. I AM IN A PLACE OF UTTER DEVOTION.
WHAT I SEE, IN MY WORLD, IS THEN TRANSLATED BY MY CAMERA. WE GET ON WELL.
BUT I AM NEVER SATISFIED. WHAT ABOUT WHAT LIES BENEATH? WHAT ABOUT DELVING DEEPER?. THIS BLOG - I HOPE - WILL BE AN EXPLORATION OF THIS.
THESE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS PRETTY MUCH CHALLENGE EVERYTHING I HAVE COME TO LOVE, AND BE KNOWN FOR, AS A PHOTOGRAPHER. IF YOU KNOW MY WORK, I DEFY YOU TO FIND ANY OF THE FOLLOWING THINGS IN MY ARCHIVE...
MOVEMENT
CROPS
ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHS (OK, OK, A FEW OF MY FLOWER PORTRAITS ARE)
AND SHOCK, HORROR, THESE ARE NOT TAKEN WITH MY BELOVED HASSELBLAD. I BOUGHT A SECOND HAND CONTAX T2 IN JULY (WHICH I CARRY AROUND IN ONE OF MY BROTHER'S SOCKS FOR A CASE). IT IS BRILLIANT.
I AM NOT GOING TO CAPTION. TAKE FROM THEM WHAT YOU WILL... SIMPLY VIEW, ENJOY, DISLIKE, DISCUSS, DISMISS...
OK I HAVE A QUESTION
ReplyDeleteYOU NEVER CROP
NICE
BUT WHAT ABOUT CAPS LOCK?
IS THIS ALSO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
(PS: HOW WEIRD I AM LISTENING TO AN OLD 80S HIT ABOUT BIG CHAIR AND SHOUTING)
Actually, my first feeling watching this very first set of pictures was the smell of fresh full fat milk.
