[ My Time And Our Common Culture]

A Mad, Keen Photographer Needs To Get Out Into The World And Work And Make Mistakes.

There Are A Lot Of Ways To Be Expressive In Life, But I Wasn't Good At Some Of Them. Music, For Instance. I Was A Distinct Failure With The Cello. Eventually, My Parents Sold The Cello And Bought A Vacuum Cleaner. The Sound In Our Home Improved.

This Might Seem Off The Track, But An Interesting Thing To Me That Others Could Talk About Better Than I, But One Of The Growth Areas In Photographic Education Has Been The So-called Slow Photography.

My Best Work Is Often Almost Unconscious And Occurs Ahead Of My Ability To Understand It.

How The Visual World Appears Is Important To Me. I'm Always Aware Of The Light. I'm Always Aware Of What I Would Call The 'deep Composition.' Photography In The Field Is A Process Of Creation, Of Thought And Technique. But Ultimately, It's An Act Of Imaginatively Seeing From Within Yourself.
