Comment on Physicality and art by vicky

when I’m walking I can feel invincible, more connected with the world and myself, and aware of my own strength….I don’t know if that’s because being alone in the countryside feels like home (I seem to have spent a fair bit of my childhood that way) or whether it’s the physicalness of it.

Your posts here feel like an extension of alot of what I’ve been thinking lately about how I treat photography and the confusion I feel about what I do.
The lack of satisfaction I’m getting from much of it and the lack of respect I’m giving it in my urgency to always produce something… like I’m running out of time but never really engaging as I want to.

I also don’t think labelling myself as a photographer is helpful because with that comes expectations from other people and a desire to meet them.

Anyway, it’s late and I’m probably rambling
Thanks for all your thoughtful words, you make alot of sense and slow me down enough to think more.

[...] http://www.marktweedie.co.uk/blog/?page_id=9182 Mark Tweedie is a Book Binder and a Pin hole Photographer, his website in the form of a blog, is home to his work and marketing of his self published books through websites such as blurb. Tweedie states in his biography page that “the simplicity of using primitive and relatively uncontrollable media means that even a day spent achieving little in material terms still has a fundamentally satisfying aspect to it.” I have a similar view as Tweedie on this, with digital one can continuously shoot and possibly end up loosing the intricate and intimate details that come with personally taking time over composing and exposing an image.
