mind film sensitive
A very receptive state of mind... not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it.
self mirrors fool
When I looked at things for what they are I was fool enough to persist in my folly and found that each photograph was a mirror of my Self.
looks tunes photographer
I have often photographed when I am not in tune with nature but the photographs look as if I had been. So I conclude that something in nature says, 'Come and take my photograph.' So I do, regardless of how I feel.
moving way sometimes
Watching the way the current moves a blade of grass - sometimes I've seen that happen and it has just turned me inside out.
intuition mind trying
Sometimes we work so fast that we don't really understand what's going on in front of the camera. We just kind of sense that, 'Oh my God, it's significant!' and photograph impulsively while trying to get the exposure right. Exposure occupies my mind while intuition frames the images.
fall creating mind
The state of mind of the photographer creating is a blank. I might add that this condition exists only at special times, namely when looking for pictures. -Something keeps him from falling off curbs, down open manholes, into bumpers of skidding trucks while in this condition but goes off duty at other times. . . . This is a very special kind of blank. A very active state of mind really, it is a very receptive state. . .
play roles moments
While we cannot describe its appearance (the equivalent), we can define its function. When a photograph functions as an Equivalent we can say that at that moment, and for that person the photograph acts as a symbol or plays the role of a metaphor for something that is beyond the subject photographed.
photography cameras photograph
Let the subject generate its own photographs. Become a camera.
photography heart horizon
Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts.
photography way students
We could teach photography as a way to make a living, and best of all, somehow to get students to experience for themselves photography as a way of life.
want groups curious
It is curious that I always want to group things, a series of sonnets, a series of photographs; whatever rationalizations appear, they originate in urges that are rarely satisfied with single images.
photography inspiration creative
Reaching a 'creative' state of mind thru positive action is considered preferable to waiting for 'inspiration'.
photography order photographer
The photographer projects himself into everything he sees, identifying himself with everything in order to know it and to feel it better.
photography attention photographer
Be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence.
