By definition, political subjects are both excellent and difficult to photograph, as too many images of political action seem to be similar.
Month: March 2008
Objects are evidence; evidence of time, evidence of use, evidence of life and of the elements. They remain here when we are long gone, changing with time. Most images here were shot on film – either on 35mm or 60mm by 60mm, and many are connected to the sea. The sea always ages objects in the most unique way.
Places mean more than their image gives away – they hide but also reveal – so one can see how people lived in them, loved them, or were frightened of them.
People are the most difficult, but also the most rewarding subject to photograph. The few examples here show thus clearly, I hope.
I saw this baby on his own, seemingly abandoned, sleeping very peacefully, the kind of sleep which only babies seem capable of. |
In the Indian galleries of the Victoria and Albert Museum resides that finest of oddities – Tippu’s Tiger. The garishly painted life-sized feline crouches over its prey, a white gentleman lying prostrate on his back with his hat still on his head.
