“I would take a street photograph if I happened to have the right camera at the right moment but I almost never do. I have nothing against reportage. People have accused me of being afraid of doing it. And, I figure, that’s probably true.“But it’s also to do with composition. I like the composition of a picture, the dance of colours and shapes across it, more than I like the subject. I love whatever subject I’m working on at the time because it’s taking me into the picture. When I’m done with the picture, I’m probably done with the subject. Some might say that’s a bit hostile and bit detached. But I go with my impulses and it seems that the art of composition is a great art.”

I personally can relate with the desire to unite, bring things together and to compose. For me, I often wonder if this need stems from trying to organize and control the unexpected events of life.
Appreciating the dedication you put into your website and detailed information you present.
It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the
same outdated rehashed material. Great read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
I do not even understand how I finished up here, however I thought this submit was good.
I do not realize who you might be however definitely you’re going
to a well-known blogger for those who are not
already. Cheers!
