photography eye artist
The contemporary artist...is not bound to a fully conceived, previsioned end. His mind is kept alert to in-process discovery and a working rapport is established between the artist and his creation. While it may be true, as Nathan Lyons stated, 'The eye and the camera see more than the mind knows,' is it not also conceivable that the mind knows more than the eye and the camera can see?
photography creative celebration
The creative process can sustain itself throughout the entire celebration of photography.
photography confused believe
I have gradually confused photography and life and as a result of this I believe I am able to work out of myself at an almost precognitive level.
finals photographer process
Let us not be afraid to allow for post-visualization. By post-visualization I refer to the willingness on the part of the photographer to revisualize the final image at any point in the entire photographic process.
blessed ideas photographer
The truth is that one is more frequently blessed with ideas while working.
thinking mind photographer
I think of many of my photographs as being obviously symbolic but not symbolically obvious. There isn't any specific correlation between the symbols in this image and any content that I have in mind.
self photographer
All knowledge is self-reflective.
years photographer clue
I've learned over the years that when you get a clue to another possibility to follow it through...
photography creating-value numbers
Editions made sense when people worked with engravings where the plate wore down as prints were made. An early number of the edition had slightly better quality. But that's not the case with photography. To me, it's a false way of creating value.
photography attitude crafts
I'm really very concerned with helping to create an attitude of freedom and daring toward the craft of photography.
photography moving thinking
Well, I do think, particularly the way I work, the better images occur when you're moving to the fringes of your own understanding. That's where self-doubt and risk taking are likely to occur. It's when you trust what's happening at a non-intellectual non-conscious level that you can produce work that later resonates, often in a way that you can't articulate a response to.
thinking photograph obvious
I think of my photographs as being obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious.
photography confused
I have gradually confused photography with life.
photography people creative
My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things. There are just uninterested people.
