What I'm Trying To Describe Is That

There's A Kind Of Power Thing About The Camera. I Mean Everyone Knows You've Got Some Edge. You're Carrying Some Magic Which Does Something To Them. It Fixes Them In A Way.

I Used To Have This Notion When I Was A Kid That The Minute You Said Anything, It Was No Longer True. Of Course It Would Have Driven Me Crazy Very Rapidly If I Hadn't Dropped It, But There's Something Similar In What I'm Trying To Say. That Once It's Been Done, You Want To Go Someplace Else. There's Just Some Sense Of Straining.

If The Fall Of Man Consists In The Separation Of God And The Devil The Serpent Must Have Appeared Out Of The Middle Of The Apple When Eve Bit Like The Original Worm In It, Splitting It In Half And Sundering Everything Which Was Once One Into A Pair Of Opposites, So The World Is Noah's Ark On The Sea Of Eternity Containing All The Endless Pairs Of Things, Irreconcilable And Inseparable, And Heat Will Always Long For Cold And The Back For The Front And Smiles For Tears And Mutt For Jeff And No For Yes With The Most Unutterable Nostalgia There Is.

I Don't Know What Good Composition Is.... Sometimes For Me Composition Has To Do With A Certain Brightness Or A Certain Coming To Restness And Other Times It Has To Do With Funny Mistakes. There's A Kind Of Rightness And Wrongness And Sometimes I Like Rightness And Sometimes I Like Wrongness.

If I Didn't Have A Camera, The Things I Do Would Be Crazy.
