Photography is an investigation of both the outer and the inner worlds. The first experiences with the camera involve looking at the world beyond the lens, trusting the instrument will 'capture' something 'seen'. The terms shoot and take are not accidental; they represent an attitude of conquest and appropriation. Only when the photographer grows into perception and creative impulse does the term make define a condition of empathy between the external and the internal events (Ansel Adams)

Ansel Adams in 1930 had been training to become a concert pianist while considering a career as a photographer. He decided, after seeing the photographs by Paul Strand, that "the camera, not the piano, would shape [his] destiny". His mother and aunt both pleaded, "Do not give up the piano! The camera cannot express the human soul!" To which Adams replied: "The camera cannot, but the photographer can”

Visual Man

I am a visual man. I watch, watch, watch. I understand things through my eyes (Henri Cartier-Bresson)

Espectacular Edu! M'encanta com has fusionat les dues figures. Mirant les samarretes de baix a dalt em fa la sensació que només existeix una samarreta, la del noi, i quan arribes al cap gairebé aconsegueixo fer desaparèixer la figura de la noia (és com un cap híbrid, o com si la silueta de la cara de la noia fos una mena de màscara que porta el noi). No sé si només em passa a mi però m'has fet percebre un efecte òptic impactant, una mica Dalinià! Espero que no penseu que m'he tornat boig...

Realment quina quantitat d'informació pot arribar-nos a portar una mirada, molta més que no pas cents i cents de paraules! Transmets fins a límits infinits amb les teves fotografies!
