Back to the Center of Things…
October 12, 2008
Ok… my brief encounter with event/documentary or whatever the fuck you want to call it photography has proven to be a complete waste of time, money and other resources. Guess it’s time to meander back to the real reason I like playing with cameras, making art.
I’ve developed a liking for wide angle lenses. I was the only nut walking around at the Obama rally in Detroit with a camera with a single, fixed, wide angle lens. The 50mm seemed just the right tool to convey the notion that the Obama campaign is primarily about the people, and not the candidate.
And finally for today, the image I look at when I am ready to pack up all my photographic equipment and go back to teaching. If I could only find people willing to participate in the making of fine art portraits, the thought of quitting would likely never cross my mind again.
OK, a few more. Perhaps the magic will begin to return.
Photography for beauty’s sake and that alone…
… a vain attempt at mimicking the artistic perfection of the Universe.
