? WHO AM I . . .
one day I was asked why I was taking pictures and almost immediately I responded, that it was to capture what it was that I saw around me: colors that take your breath away, innocence that hadn't meant for you to see it, a granite wall softened with filigree brush that appears to survive without soil … and how it is, that for any particular one of these views it is only there for a moment, and then it is gone … a moment private to the photographer and unique … so unique that should she try to direct a friend -- in the very split moment immediately after taking the picture -- to look at what it is that she had just seen, it wouldn’t be there. Were she to say, “Oh look, isn’t that gorgeous,” she wouldn’t be able to locate the place again.
Photographers pick a view, an angle, a color temperature. They consider, reconsider and then commit the memory to pixels. Days later we revisit the recollection, increase exposure, soften contrast, fiddle with temperature -- all attempts to closely duplicate what it is we remembered shooting … and hoping that maybe, just maybe, weeks later, you finally may be impelled to say, along with us, “Oh look, isn’t that gorgeous.”
