Photography that’s about what you see is fine, but the real stuff for me is all about where you are, and your relationship to the subject matter. The life you live, the voyage you are on, the relationships you can discover when your camera takes you inside, and the rocks you can turn over.
I love looking at the beauty in our views just like anyone else. Patterns, colours, shades, compositions, and the poetry of picture is sweet. But what really turns my crank and ENGAGES me, my heart, my soul and my mind, is what photos can reveal about the photographers life both inner and outer, and the relationships they have with the world around them. The good the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. I suppose its how photography can visualize what is unseen. Below the surface. To be interpreted by the viewer. THe mood, the glance, the look, the bits and pieces of places and times that tell a story.
I suppose ultimately for me, photography is about the story. In this case, your story.
