Anything Is An Art If You Do

The Way Someone Who's Being Photographed Presents Himself To The Camera, And The Effect Of The Photographer's Response On That Presence, Is What The Making Of A Portrait Is All About.

The Moment An Emotion Or Fact Is Transformed Into A Photograph It Is No Longer A Fact But An Opinion.

I'm Beginning To Feel Like This. Caught The Incredible Sunshine Just In The Nick Of Time Today On My Walk. The Wall Of Rain Approaching From The West Desert Was Pretty Spectacular, Too. Along With Being Gorgeous, It Was Sooo Muddy. Which Made Driving Home In No Shoes So Very Fun :) If Only I Could Post Photos Here! A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words, Yes? If A Day Goes By Without My Doing Something Related To Photography, It's As Though I've Neglected Something Essential To My Existence, As Though I Had Forgotten To Wake Up.

I Never Wanted To Be Called An Artist. I Wanted To Be Called A Photographer.

I've Worked Out Of A Series Of No's. No To Exquisite Light, No To Apparent Compositions, No To The Seduction Of Poses Or Narrative. And All These No's Force Me To The Yes. I Have A White Background. I Have The Person I'm Interested In And The Thing That Happens Between Us.
