A photograph is what it appears to be. Already far from ‘reality’ because of its silence, lack of movement, two-dimensionality and isolation from everything outside the rectangle, it can create another reality, an emotion that did not exist in the ‘true’ situation. It’s the tension between these two realities that lends it strength.

Photography is the air
I breathe, the water I drink,
the fire I step through,
the rock I’m standing on.

Quote of the Day
September 28, 2009
If you greatly admire many of
Edward Weston’s photographs
– as I do – and if you find them
aesthetically majestic, recognize
their substantial influence and
their high status in contemporary
criticism, you may turn to the
photographer’s writings in an
effort to discover his intentions,
his philosophies, perhaps even his secrets.
Expect complexity.
