Entre les images
Sur la discipline de poser l'appareil, et les photographies qui apparaissent grâce à cela.
— Planche 01, rue Vieille-du-Temple. Pris en the camera, in this case, off.
Most of the photographs I'm proudest of arrived because I had decided, ten or fifteen minutes earlier, to stop taking pictures.
“The camera is a way of being in a place. It is not the same as being in a place.”
There's a kind of attention the camera demands that, past a certain duration, becomes its own subject. You stop seeing the room and start seeing the picture of the room.
A practice
What I do now, on every assignment longer than four hours: I set the camera down somewhere visible — on a table, on the floor next to my foot — and I stand there for two minutes and look at the room without it.
