I’ve been a taker-of-pictures for many years. In that time I’ve been honored to shoot just about every photographic genre there is. Also I’ve had time to muse on what it means to be a taker-of-pictures.
I regard my camera as a kind of time machine. Every time I press the shutter button a 1/125th of a second or so is recorded, forever. When you’ve been doing this a while you find you have those frozen split seconds that can go back many years. So that is what I do. I don’t take pictures, I preserve time so that people in the far future can look back at us now and say… “what were they thinking with those bell-bottom jeans”…
Okay at that point it all breaks down but you do know what I mean, right? Ironically we need more pictures in the world, we need more prints and albums in the world… and less Instagram!
