Photography
like as a way of watching, thinking, being… *I
could not answer in any other words but these ones.
I think that to look
by photography means to me observe, to examine, lingering over details and
shapes,
studying the scene in front of you, analysing its contents.
How could this be possible without feeling the need to think, elaborating
the meaning
of
occurred, with its causes and consequences,
briefly
thinking,
even unconsciously
searching
within for emotions, pleasant or not, that have impressed the memory.
But to think by photography means to polish off my creativity and
technique, trying to impress on the film ideas, emotions and states of
mind overpoweringly come out when I see something interesting, or that
scene that deeply ravished me. In the light of these facts, I defy anyone
to deny the certainty that to look and to think by photography is distinct
from “to be” by photography… Somebody much more important than me
said “to photograph is to set mind, eyes and heart aligned same aim”,
and I think there is no reason why to raise an objection!
