I have just taken a step away from my FB page. On FaceBook, among the sprinkling of news and actual pictures from actual lives of actual family and friends, we face down a visual storm of visual, audio and textual noise, clatter that I am thinking that I will be better off without…
I live in a world, one that is brimming with competing media of which a large % is visual clutter. As a social doc photographer I take care with moments, when I release the cloth shutter it is with a singular moment in mind, one that I wish to share or represent as a photograph – A moment that needs another moment, one uncluttered by noise to be fully realised.
I will for my part ‘share’ only from my own actual life, and ‘course less space for noise in our collective lives. It has become so easy to snap n share but it is not so easy to realise. The difficulty is no longer in the developing of the photographic image but in finding the space just to ingest these ‘moments’ thrust upon us all…
And hope that in turn I gain more moments for these photographic moments of my own.
