If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

the camera as sketch pad « Previous | |Next »
November 13, 2010

This is a study for a large format camera shot that I did this afternoon. I'm basically using my digital camera as a sketch pad for a future large format shoot. I take several digital shots then look at them on the computer.

It's a slow way of working, but it is the only way I know to figure out whether what I'm doing works or not photographically. Does the idea work photographically? Does the image say anything? Is it worth working on the idea with a large format camera? The cost and hassle of sheet film is such that the one shot that I take has to count.
