Do you know the difference between looking and seeing?

I really like looking at things. People often think I'm staring, but I'm not. I'm just looking.

I work in the movie industry, where we take lots of stills at 25fps. I make movies with stills - but at maybe 1 or 2 frames a minute, or even an hour.

All my pix are meant to be seen together, not as one, single image. There's a story if you can find it. Sometimes even I can't find it.

I'm interested in the time between each shot. Like the thin horizontal stripe of unexposed emulsion between the frames of movie stock. Lots of my photos are sequences where one hardly differs from the next, but time has passed.

Some of the shots are single frame taken with an old wind- up Bolex 8mm (that's Standard 8 not Super) using it like a stills camera. There's about 3500 frames on a roll of 50'. Develop it yourself in a bucket and scan - nice.

Ansel Adams is great, but this is the 21st century. Photography is the newest art form there is, be exciting with it.

I thought I took great photos, in fact thought I was pretty clever. Until I found Flickr;)
