saws bangs print
You see something happening and you bang away at it. Either you get what you saw or you get something else--and whichever is better you print.
would-be four information
In the end, maybe the correct language would be how the fact of putting four edges around a collection of information or facts transforms it. A photograph is not what was photographed, it's something else.
nice want term
Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.
ifs
If you didn’t take the picture, you weren’t there.
photography stills
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
photography people trying
There are things I back off from trying to talk about, you know. Particularly my own work. Also, there may be things better left unsaid. At times I'd much rather talk about other (people's) work.
talking want
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
photography done enough
The only thing that's difficult is reloading when things are happening. Can you get it done fast enough?
special looks way
There is no special way a photograph should look.
photography all-things
All things are photographable.
photography photograph reloading
There are no photographs while I'm reloading .
worry giving narrative
I don't have anything to say in any picture. But you do, from your experience, surmise something. You do give a photograph symbolic content, narrative content... But it's nothing to worry about!
stupid thinking lists
Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like "street photographer" are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.
clearly
There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described. I photograph to see what something will look like photographed.
