this is the second book i bought at the Stephen Shore lecture. i love the packaging.

lately i’ve been thinking more about what i want to do with my photography and i found this lecture to be beneficial and enjoyable. things to take away:

1. always continue thinking about your approach and how you see things. (i’ve been thinking about going back to school but i know i need things to be more solid; i thought i needed to find what my “thing” is. but ironically what annoys me about some artists is that they find one thing and they never seem to do anything else. hearing some of Stephen Shore’s journey through photography showed me it’s important to continue questioning one’s approach.)
2. it’s important to find the balance between being so snap happy that you aren’t paying enough attention to what you’re doing and being so hyper aware that you have shutter-finger anxiety (and hardly take any photos).
3. digital can give us more spontaneous images because there is less concern about wasting film (money). film can give us more thoughtful images because we’re aware that each frame costs something.

ps. sorry i’ve been so absent lately
