12.2006 you're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea

It was by making photographs that I learned to be an artist. But as I learned to be an artist I grew away from photography.

one of my favorite quotes by Nathan Wagoner and the title is by "TV on the Radio - Staring at the Sun"

Check out my friend´s António VI stream and see not "making of" of this shot but of another yet to come. Ha! and for the record i did not ask to go up on the roof :))))i was invited to climb up there and it was a wonderful moment!! i love Antonio's shot! :))

    That quote however is very frightening, LOL. So much "security" has been found in photography's potential for myself, lol. Yikes.
