About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

I totally agree with John Szarkowski's idea that ...

"Photography is a system of visual editing. At bottom, it is a matter of surrounding with a frame a portion of one's cone of vision, while standing in the right place at the right time. Like chess, or writing, it is a matter of choosing from among given possibilities, but in the case of photography the number of possibilities is not finite but infinite."

Indeed, and without a doubt, "in the case of photography the number of possibilities is not finite but infinite". Unless, of course, you've got your head up your ass (creativity and imagination wise) and think that "a pile twigs is just, well, a pile a of twigs".
