Never Gets Old

"Photographers everywhere love to take a beautiful picture. I love to take a confusing picture, only more so if it confuses me and I can't tear it up in a couple of seconds. Collectively we have active photographic minds, so if an image survives both of us looking at, it lives on for a while. And if it doesn't, if we have an idea of what "kind" of image it is, we sometimes love it anyway.

The arts have a long relationship with appreciating what can't immediately be dissected; it seeks out little hiding places, open places, where something is seen or felt beyond what can be said. You make something new when you feel you understand completely what you've already made. Images of sex and beauty and experience provide either excitement or empathy that doesn't let the mind settle or be satisfied. Making them never gets old, in whatever circumstance with whatever cheap or expensive or priceless camera, and they're pretty to look at."
