I think it's important to have passion-- I really do-- in your own work.  It keeps you going.

Keep your mind open.  Open for everything to enter.  Close your eyes wide shut.  Accept it.  Free it.  Now make an image.  -Kevin German

At the moment, the most utopian feeling that I have found is the 

excitement and freedom of exploration.  This is what makes 

me happy now.  Freedom to make ones own 

successes and mistakes.  

Delayed

Here's a long overdue posting from before Xmas.  Deb and Jim were nice enough to pose for me for an impromptu portrait shoot.  I think this is one of my favorites.  

I am trying to decide what is the best for me and what is the worst.  But I can't tell and all I seem to do is drown the seconds as I hope for the emptiness to disappear.  

Onward

Can no longer pretend to know what I am doing.  Just blindly wandering occassionally stumbling upon a portrait of heaven on these ugly asphalt streets.  A lovely play of the form and color a perfect statement of my ugly mood.  But it means nothing.

I think that documentary happens because a photographer wants it to happen.  A photographer decides something should be documented, and he or she puts in the intellectual, as well as artistic effort.
