for some people taking pictures is about the absolute expression - this would mean controlling all aspects of what ends up being included in a visual work. i cannot subscribe to such a view. for me it’s about getting THERE, the place where IT is happening. and then the only thing you need is your eye, a camera and the right index finger. so starting the day out with the plan to enjoy my surrounding i ended up with a spectacular day, visiting several places i’d never been before, making several dozen pictures that i wouldn’t object putting my name to, and just taking it easy. that’s what its all about.
and then when i look back at how many times i yesterday praised such days, and when i think about the months to come, i cannot but grin wider than the cheshire cat, and say – i’m loving it!
and when the autumn rains come, and when people start shutting their windows and closing blinds, somewhere, somehow i’ll share the views and places i’ve visited and seen, and it will all be warm again.
