Photography = selection, composition and light; sliced out of space and time; usually within a fraction of a second.
“Some people’s photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.” Helmut Newton
People seem to desire truth based on unembellished physical evidence. A witness with a camera appears to provide such evidence. Yet, people also possess appetites for imagination. So the best photography seems to ride the flux of real experience and the flow of imagination. The photograph seems burdened with anxieties over authenticity and verification; while blessed with imaginative discovery.
