~ A Ming vase can be well-designed and well-made and is beautiful for that reason alone. I don't think this can be true for photography. Unless there is something a little incomplete and a little strange, it will simply look like a copy of something pretty. We won't take an interest in it. ~ ~ Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. ~ ~ Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be ~ ~ Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. ~ ~ Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness. ~ ~ Photography is my one recreation and I think it should be done well. ~ ~ As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs. ~ ~ Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world. ~ ~ Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution. ~ ~ Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be ~ ~ Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past. ~ ~ Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay. ~ |
