ā€œBeing silent for a while is good. Words can’t express a person’s emotionā€ - Tarkovsky

A series of captures from recent walks around Edinburgh, some with the R5C and some with the x100vi but all with the objective of telling an interesting narrative and improving my eye! Enjoy the work šŸ“øšŸ“ø
ā€œAn artist is only justified in his work when it is crucial to his way of lifeā€¦ā€ - Tarkovsky

I am continuing to photograph but in a more deliberate manner, posting less and reflecting more on what I am shooting. Reflecting on my own eye and what interests me in the stories I want to explore. Enjoy this series of image capturing characters and stories…

Enjoy this series! šŸ“ø
ā€œThere is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.ā€ – Robert Frank

Some more 4:3 images made while exploring Edinburgh. Trying to tell more story, capturing closer moments and interactions as best as I can with an understanding I have much to learn. That’s where the excitement lies…in the area not yet learned…

Let me know in the comments what image catches your attention? What story does it conjure? šŸ“øšŸ“ø
ā€˜I learned about failure, and in a way failure is a beautiful thing because when the dust settles there is nowhere to go but up, and it’s a freedom. You can’t lose more, but you can gain.ā€˜ - Lynch

Lately, I’ve been trying to get closer. Not just physically with the camera but closer to what I want to shoot more of! To fill the frame.

Allow the subject to tell their story within the 4:3 frame.

I’ve felt more uncomfortable while out with my camera and that sense of being uncomfortable makes me more comfortable that I am developing…not there yet…but developing.

Enjoy the series and have a good week ahead!
ā€˜A photograph is the pause button on lifeā€ Ty Holland

Strictly 4:3 frames this time which is an interesting challenge framing and composing. My attempt, is finding narratives within that frame, stories that perhaps we can all in some way relate too! Fragments of humanity - pausing a moment in a world that feels too fast at the moment!

Working on some projects and subtle shifts in my work over the next few months which I’m excited to share! Have a great week! See you all in the next post! šŸ“øšŸ“ø
ā€œA good photograph is knowing where to stand.ā€ – Ansel Adams

I’m still working out where to stand with my work…but here is a longer (mostly) 4:3 series of some recent images I’ve made.
ā€œI don’t ever think about what people are going to think looking at my photographs. There are many things I can’t control. That viewers see the photographs in a different way is really important, but it doesn’t influence the work. My message enters the image, but I think it’s good if many messages enter the image, not just mine.ā€ - Daido Moriyama
ā€œModern art has taken a wrong turn in abandoning the search for the meaning of existence in order to affirm the value of the individual for its own sake.ā€ - Tarkovsky

I have been reading Tarkovsky’s ā€˜Sculpting in Time’ and there are some strong views about art, the artist and the difference in his eyes between art and the consumer…perhaps the consumer of content.

It’s not important whether I agree or disagree but something I have been thinking about and wrestling with recently is what am I shooting for? What is the purpose of the shots I take other than to serve myself as a technical exercise or for ā€˜content generation.’ I don’t have an answer…yet! So I decided to just post ā€˜content’ anyway…or perhaps they are images I made purposefully…

I would highly recommend the book, it is a good read with some interesting philosophical thought experiments that got me questioning my own direction…. What is art? Does it actually even matter if you can answer that question? At the end of the day maybe this is too much to grapple with without coffee…either way enjoy the images I made.
ā€œIf you look for meaning, you’ll miss everything that happensā€ - Tarkovsky

Images made while wandering around Edinburgh and Glasgow. That is all. Each image with a story or not a story.

ā€œjust everydayā€ has different weight and importance for different people šŸ“øšŸ“ø
