Brandt on Seeing Intensely

Lake Michigan on a summer night... View On Black

"It is part of the photographer’s job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveler who enters a strange country. Most photographers would feel a certain embarrassment in admitting publicly that they carried within them a sense of wonder, yet without it they would not produce the work they do, whatever their particular field. It is the gift of seeing the life around them clearly and vividly, as something that is exciting in its own right. It is an innate gift, varying in intensity with the individual’s temperament and environment." - Bill Brandt - "Camera in London", The Focal Press, London 1948, p. 14

Relativity and photography

The theory of relativity states that the perceived speed of an object is relative to other speeds of other objects--there is no absolute speed per se.

In this case, even though the carousel is going at a nice slow speed for the kids, we can make it seem like a hellish tornado of movement by just making the camera go slower through a long exposure.

By NOT using a tripod, the nonlinearities in my muscular control lead to chaotic-like variations in the circles, which add to the organic and emergent nature of the image...

Plus, orange light is cool.
