Issue 10
Photography is changing ever so fast, but at the same time it isn’t. Photographs are still memories from yesteryear — they allow us to escape reality and go on a journey with the artist. We get to stand where he stood and see what she saw/experienced.
While it has taken them months/years to drive across town/the country, we feel the adventure to be instantaneous and seamless. There are no gaps for us to observe: we don’t see the photographers hesitation, or the images they didn’t show us. Nor do we see the choices they made, how they perceived the moment and their memory of that feeling. Good photography allows us to linger in their foot steps, to be in the desert, a foreign country — 1000 or more miles away. And that is because the artist took it upon herself to be there, find the spot with a view that touched their heart and make their exposure.
One moment among many to record or invent their story & share it with us. Their time invested in following a whim or an idea. The time and expense it took to make 100 exposures, to make a memory and find a moment that fits perfectly into the past.
