Why am I drawing, Not Photographing?

I’m scared of keep repeating myself., of producing the same shit over & over whereas every drawing is different – maybe because my emotions have more impact…

More later…

Meanwhile here is a mini project I shot in my studio in Worthing this weekend, all on an X-T2 with the 35/1.4 in Acros.

I’ve been trying to work out why I’m drawing so much and not photographing so much (street / news etc) and walking across waterloo bridge just now I think I got it… Seeing that view that I love I wanted to pull.put my camera but then thought “what’s the point, I’ve shot it so much” and then it hit me…

  1. I’m not in your league, at all, but especially of late, I have found myself far more discerning as to whether I shall create an image or not. Especially in the street. I, too, had an epiphany the other week, when I was talking to another photographer far better than I about this phenomenon. I don’t seek the ‘decisive moment’ any longer because I love talking to the people who have caught my attention. And, it is that catching my attention that is key. I subsequently read Edmund White’s “The Flâneur” and realised that this is probably a better description than “street photographer” or “visual sociologist”!
