Is photography a solitary art? Difficult to say but I usually take my best shots
|
|
|
|
|
while alone or with other photographers who understand the practise of photography.
|
|
|
|
|
The idea of this post came from Bob_ who asked me to take a selfie_. We tried to
|
|
|
|
|
take pictures in front of a large mirror in a hotel's lobby.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But photography is time depend, you need time to think about a picture and some time
|
|
|
|
|
to represent a picture. The time requirement was not meet for the selfie
|
|
|
|
|
but we did overcome the challenge. Sometime you hear that photography is solitary art but
|
|
|
|
|
is it really? Thinking about it, it's not the act of being alone but to control time.
|
|
|
|
|
You just need a set of people in the same spacetime. Bob_ and I_ tried to be in that
|
|
|
|
|
spacetime but the surrounding were obviously much faster than us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next time, we will control time. We will get rid of our watches and ride the spectrum of
|
|
|
|
|
time with our cameras.
