In My Back Pocket - Photography
'It is not what you look at that matters. It's what you see.' – Henry David Thoreau
That Day – Out With Cameras
That day – I arrived at Lethbridge the day before. My daughter had an assignment due for University the next day. I would go out with cameras for the day and meet her for supper the next evening. Good.
Here is one of the first images of the day edited towards being a silhouette. Liking it.
Quote to Consider / Inspire – “Ultimately – or at the limit – in order to see a photograph well, it is best to look away or close your eyes. ‘The necessary condition for an image is sight,’ Janouch told Kafka; and Kafka smiled and replied: ‘We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes (Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography).’”
Listening to: Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris with ‘Red Staggering,’ ‘Rollin’ On’, ‘Love and Happiness’ and ‘Right Now’ from their ‘All that Roadrunning’ album.
