Essentially What Photography Is Is Life Lit

The Unusual Wins Out Over The Usual.

There Isn't An Aspect Of Book Creation I Don't Enjoy, And There Has Always Been A Book In My Life To Dream About Or Work On.

I Wanted Life To Be Episodic. I Wanted To Be A Magazine Photographer And I Was Willing To Do What It Took To Become That.

I Have This Awareness That The More Dynamic The Situation Is, The More On Guard I Need To Be That The Dynamic Isn't Controlling The Situation. I Found That Myself In The Galapagos. For The First Time In My Life I Was Around Very Exotic Animals, Colorful, Beautiful, And Immediately Present, All Around. Birds, Turtles, Iguanas, Seals. I Was Being Seduced By Their Exoticism, I Was Taking Pictures.the Pictures Weren't Well Lit, There Was No Moment In Play, There Was No Depth To The Pictures. I Was Just Gawking With My Camera At Something I'd Never Seen Before.

Increasingly, It's People Not Interested In National Geographic.
