I was told once about a man who was told ” these photographs are amazing. You must have an excellent camera?”
Later, he was invited to this persons home for a meal, which he very much enjoyed.
On passing the empty plate across the table he expressed, “That was an incredible meal. You must have a terrific cooker?”
Well, let’s say all the ingredients for nice pictures are daily offered to me and I just have to grab those. It’s not as complicated as cooking; it’s just about being open-minded and being honestly amazed by people and situations. I know this statement is intellectually and artistically rather naive, but it gives me great comfort. And what’s important too: it doesn’t inhibit me to continue making pictures… (Preventing someone to make create a personal visual language is mostly the final result of art education – I experienced it personally in Luca, school of arts in Brussels. No competent cooks available there.)
These are so good my friend!
Just reflecting my opinions, my experiments, my amazements. As a photographer I have this wonderful tool, a simple camera.
