“Vertigo is experienced by the camera owner who can’t stop taking pictures. This is an innate characteristic of ay human who senses the need to produce a double of the world and thus assure himself that he does exist.” -Denis Roche
“I see no reason for recording the obvious.”
-Edward Weston
Weston understands my reasoning for not photographing flowers, sunsets, or landscapes. They are obvious. We’ve all seen these things, we all appreciate these things, but I feel that a REAL photographer uses his MIND and ability to accomplish a new way to see things and appreciate things. I understand that craft is important, but it doesn’t interest me as much as an intellectually compelling composition or subject matter.
