Uncommon Places
Stephen Shore said, Take a photo of a location and then turn a little or take a step forward and your space will be completely different. Completely ---
Completely ? Really? Well I was quite amazed when I took his words and put them in practice; From afar the space is quite appealing. Two steps forward and you loose the transparency of space and the drama of that shadow, and gain an immediacy of the tree and booth. Another two steps and it becomes a detailed portrait of the booth and the tree is delegated to a backdrop.
Addendum: 2 hours later I am wondering whether I should have posted one of the closer pictures which seem to hold more bravado and immediacy. But if I’m going to practice practice practice my awareness of the structure of space I will retain this version.
People have asked me why I talk about my photos. Well first and foremost Flickr is an interactive photography forum and none of us are destined for Magnum.
So let’s have fun and learn from one another. Cheers.
