Photo musing
Jan. 26th, 2020 10:39 pmI like taking photographs, but I have barely got my camera out since September last year. What's that all about?
Photographing events is a way of opting out: "Don't take any notice of me taking pictures. I'm not really here." To some extent, I've been trying to be more present. I want to take part more, observe less.
I've been making a album web pages of all my digital photos. There are about 22,000 of them to go through. It's a big job, and it uses up photography space in my brain and photography time in my life. And it makes me feel the weight of the past and the photos I've taken of it. AND I don't think that anyone but me is going to look at it, so I'm not altogether sure why I'm doing it.
What's worth a photo? There are so many things that I've taken before, so how could I find something different to say about them?
Maybe I need a project. Something to get me to try things out. Hmm, maybe I have an idea...
