With the pictures Mr. Gowin shows we see life in reality. I find that these are the photos that I enjoy most. I want to see what life is about that someone cared enough about to capture it. I agree completely with the remark Mr. Gowin makes “attention was a natural duty which could honor that love” that was his family. I love to just shoot my family when they are just doing what they do. To me this will give me memories of what the ones I love where truly like. There is a time and place for the posed pictures but natural pictures show real life.
(This photo is one of my favorite that I took of my nephew at a cemetery during a Memorial Day event, it was not posed, and it shows so much about him…if you knew him)
Mr. Gowin’s circular photos are amazing and I love to find that camera and lens and produce these types of photos. I believe that a lot of wonderful things are created by accident. When someone will experiment often great things come from it. I often begin a project with one idea and it takes a totally different path. Is this wrong, absolutely not…it is being creative.
It is great wonderful things can happen by accident. It sure makes taking pictures a gamble and what fun it is. Now with digital photography it is almost free.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice pic of your nephew...such bright colors. I think the expression on his face is great...like he just isn't sure.
