Bonnard used to say “what are you after?.. why this instant?.. why press the shutter just then?”
I just answered “why did you just put this stub of yellow?”
He laughed. We knew sensibility cannot be explained.

Don’t forget to check out the gallery as well. Are you surprised by the power of the pinhole photography? To add one more example, I have included here a photo by Steve Gosling (below), which was the winner of the ‘Places’ 2006 competition by the journal Black & White Photography (Issue 66)
The night when Barack Hussein Obama was elected as the new U.S. president, adding new meanings to the American identity, I prefer to look at some photographs from the past. And then accompany them with few comments of scepticism.
Lee Friedlander (Paul Tate, Lafayette, Louisiana 1968)
Keith Loutit employed and combined ’tilt-shifting’ and time-lapse photography in order to create the videos seen in his site. The method of tilting the lens of the camera helped him to control the orientation of the plane of focus, and select an area of focus that deviates from the usual case, which is parallel to the camera. A large aperture was also used to achieve a very shallow depth of field. The images were manipulated so that they look like photographs of a miniature scale model and, given the high vantage point too, the scene seems much smaller than it actually is.

“Colour expands a photograph’s palette and adds a new level of descriptive information and transparency to the image. It is more transparent because one is stopped less by the surface – colour is more like how we see. It has added description because it shows the colour of light and the colours of a culture or an age. While made in the 1980s, the palette of this image by Anne Turyn seems to date the picture a generation earlier.”
