I attended a lecture by the photographer Larry Sultan at the Art Institute here in San Francisco last night, along with local photographer Elana Dorfman. It was amazing to hear them speak about their work along with seeing their work done over the years. It's so inspiring...
Larry said something that has stuck with me since and I can't stop playing it over in my mind "Anyone can take a photo but it's what you do with it that really makes the difference" I just can't get that out of my head. It's so true and I think about this all the time. I see everyone's amazing photos and I see people taking photos all the time but what are they doing with them??
I think this photo blog I have going here is one of my ways to get my photos out there, out of my photo albums, off my computer and out there to share with others, otherwise what's the point?? Yes, there are times when taking the photo and being in that moment is enough but other times you have to see the end result and find a way to share it and do something with it for it be real and matter.
I think this relates to many other avenues in our lives - anyone can do what we do but it's what WE do with it that makes the difference, makes the impact, makes it unique....
something to think about..
