12/17/2022 0 Comments Work from home song about prostitutesI think more now than I have for some time and yet end up picking up the camera and putting it down more now knowing I won't do my thoughts justice. I shoot more landscapes now than I ever did. The itch to shoot people gets stronger by the day, yet my desire to express myself in whichever bloody way I feel like at the time grows with more vigour still. To show you her eyes and make you wonder, to undress her and show you her soul naked not her body, to dress her again and make you wish for a backward step. I still itch physically to shoot people again, to find some model and sit her down and shoot her in a way that noone else would. When the time is right, it will get down from the shelf, dust itself off and tap you on the shoulder."Īnd so it has come to be that Flickr has become more of a personal insight into me and my thoughts, the personal side of the commercial picture taker in making. You know, the ones who thought that if they pointed their Leica at any glittery surface or grand landscape, the photo was bound to be interesting and that they had nothing to learn because they had found out long ago that asking themselves any awkward questions only made their bollocks ache. That would make you the kind of lightweight git we always tried to persuade to give up the classes as quickly as possible. I would be worried, if you e-mailed to say you were snapping away happily. You had 20 odd years (and let's face it, they were odd) to develop a vision of people, places and things around here. You've barely had time to see it, let alone get to grips with what it means and how to translate it into pictures. So, it's hardly surprising that you aren't sure yet, what you want to say about your new situation. That is, as a vehicle to carry your thoughts. You are a serious photographer who uses the camera as a medium. I spent nearly three months of the last year without physically touching the camera, but then as my mentor, ex lecturer and friend Dave White said to me recently: Fashion and portraits are what I did really. Flickr was a small part of a grander plan.Īnd then I started to fall flat out of love with taking photos, particularly those for people and models who wished for nothing more than to create as much pain and stress as possible. I uploaded a big bunch of shots to Flickr originally as another space online to show my work, believing that by prostituting my work and my name across photography cyberspace it would slowly but surely help to spread what I do around and maybe help me get more work, or at least be recognised more. And what to show for it? And will anyone actually read what I write anyway? And do I care? (I don't know if I do or not.)
