It's Nice To Get Off

I Did Not Move Into Developing Or Processing Color. I Stayed With Black And White. I Still Think To This Day That I Prefer To Work In Black And White If It Has To Do With Poetry Or Anything Other Than Specific Reality. I Have Worked In Color When I Thought It Was The Appropriate Way To Express The Thought That I Was Working On

The Camera Can Capture Thought In A Way That's Quite Surprising And Shocking. You Can Become Very Simple And Minimal In Your Work And Communicate A Lot With Just A Finger Or An Eyebrow, Or A Look, Or A Glance.

Years Ago - In The 70s, For About A Decade - I Carried A Camera Every Place I Went. And I Shot A Lot Of Pictures That Were Still Life And Landscape, Using Available Light.

Because I Have Known Despair, I Value Hope. Because I Have Tasted Frustration, I Value Fulfillment. Because I Have Been Lonely, I Value Love.
