Thoughtful and interesting. It is clear that I have a strong preference for photography that is related to a specific moment in time and that is not primarily conceptual or manipulated into pigments.

The Unexpected Instant

The unexpected instant in time is the essence of photography. If we try to eliminate that random instant through stubborn concepts or aggressive manipulation we are removing photography from photography. It is sort of like fishing or wildlife viewing, we can prepare, but ultimately there is a sense of luck that turns our preparation into reality, we have to court and prepare for the instant and be grateful for the result.
