Digital BW, The Print

Jack, It is quite simple; because that is what I do! I have shooting for
some time. The bike ride down to the Fotomat kiosk to drop off or pick up
the photos was just one act in the process. It was soon replaced by getting
in the darkroom and making the image appear on paper. The latest versions of
image making is brought to the viewer after finalizing it with a computer.
Pedro has it right but it is even more than just remembering. It is also
imagining. Through the use of the camera, paper, and ink or silver or., I
create a moment in time; a partial reality or a new unreality. Each print
represents a new reflecting pond for viewers to peer into and imagine for
themselves.

Subject: [Digital BW] why do you take/make pictures

 

So I can tell from the obvious desire of everyone on this list to make 
better pictures using new technology that this is pretty serious 
crowd. I am starting to put together a training session on photography 
and I'm thinking of starting with "why take pictures at all?"
One of the best explanations I've heard over the years is by Pedro 
Meyer: "I photograph to 
remember".<http://www.zonezero

I would be interested in comments from anyone to the same question, 
and if you don't mind, I may incorporate your comments into the 
opening of the training.
