Think of your photographs in 20 years, or 40 years. Time changes how a photograph is viewed. I wonder if I would have loved these photographs without the passage of time? Many of them I would.

The Online Photographer: Digital and its Discontents
The Online Photographer: Digital and its Discontents
I have assumed that there was not a fundamental difference between film and digital. For me, in my photography, there isn't. but I agree with the distinctions and ideas in this article. The joy and challenge of looking at photographs is that it is a remnant of a real interaction at a specific moment in time, the more this interaction or connection is weakened the less interesting, and the less valuable, the photograph becomes. For me photography is sharing a way of seeing.

I find this site worth exploring, an example of photography as a life's work and also as a method of presentation. I would love to have my photography archived and presented with the thought and care that has been put into this archive.

Inspiration and Art, really. When I take photographs many times I am trying to document something that will have value in the future. I actually think that what is mundane today will be fascinating tomorrow.

Simple clear respectful photography of a surreal institution. Photography has the power to reveal and hopefully change what it reveals.

I agree with this article, there is a difference between a photograph and pigment, Photoshop techniques can obscure and divert from the original photographic intention. Clear photographic intention, enhanced through Photoshop is Photography. A clear Photoshop intention enhanced through photography might be art, but might not be Photography.

The Online Photographer: How to Read a Photographic Book
The Online Photographer: How to Read a Photographic Book
I think it is true that we judge a photograph quickly, I know I do. I also know when I watch people looking at my photographs that they often miss, what for me, is an important aspect of the photograph. Allowing time to savor, or reflect, or just to look at a photograph is respectful of the thought and effort of the photographer.

This is an interesting article related to truth in photography and the limits of using Photoshop to manipulate images. I agree with its intent and limitations. Keeping a relationship between a photograph and a specific moment in time is the magic of photography. Manipulation can severe the relationship between a photograph and a moment in time. When the relationship to a moment in time is altered an image can still be meaningful and beautiful, but the energy and magic of photography has vanished.
