In many ways I am indifferent to photography. And I certainly didn't come to it through a love of photographs. I do know a gorgeous black and a good bit of printing, and lush paper, and good depth of field....
I know what those parameters are and I am wary that my photographs can be on the edge of gorgeousness. It's really important that they feel prosaic, but also that they can just do that little bit more. I don't get precious about pictures I have taken. It's not the first time people have taken pictures of this stuff or dealt with it. What's more important is how it connects and how to deal with a bigger narrative :-)
