<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I haven't read many books. What I
mean is I haven't read many novels. I wish I had. But I have devoured many
non-fiction books. The majority either art or especially photography. I am
right now looking at my bookshelves and trying to decide which of the many are
my top ten. Are they the one's I enjoyed the most? Are they the one’s I
have gained the most knowledge from? Are they the one’s that I have gleaned
some enlightenment from or ones that have created a turn in attitude? I can’t
be specific. But scanning the titles I have judged whether they have raised an
eyebrow. So without too much introspection here are my, at this present moment,
top ten reads. Oh! They are not in any particular order. It’s hard enough to
choose ten without stating the very best! So, they aren’t in numerical, purely
bulleted order.</span><br />

was trying to show vitality. The pictures are about content, and more
content. And if there is no content, take no picture.”</i><br />

exactly the other way around now. ‘Okay I’m going to take my clothes
off, and I’m going to stand there in the nude, and I’m going to try and
look lonely or profound.'”</i><br />

<i>“Content cannot be manufactured, in my opinion. That which I can find is better than that which you can make. <span class="text_exposed_show">That
which we find, the work and the use of the people out there, it’s
natural, that’s what ordinary people do, that interests me.”</span></i><br />

<i>“I take pride in saying these are all how we looked, not how we wanted
to look, or staged. You cannot stage pictures. That is something I have
many many times defended. People say ‘Well you can stage that.’ I say
‘No you cannot, and I can prove it to you.’ Many times over I’ve taken a
second shot after [some] kids have seen me, and nothing. It’s a
different picture.”</i><br />

going out in that!". Then you reconsider and think; "It's only snow...
I'll just stay local!". So I ventured out for only 20-30 minutes and
walked only 200 yards or so from base. Important lesson learnt!<br />

about as perfect for photographic purposes as it could be made … To this
vile weather we owe our most charming effects. If there was no bad
weather, there would be no clouds and no gales, no rain and no snow. If
there is one time more than another when the country smiles the most, it
is during rain.” Raymond Moore<br />

because it’s not necessarily done on the street. The pictures can be
taken on a farm, at the zoo, in an office, and so on. Let’s say we
consider the general category of “unposed pictures of people” (or
sometimes animals or even inanimate objects when they happen to be
possessed by human souls), and then the subcategory “with nothing
particularly important going on.” If we further narrow it down to the
“play” sub-subcategory, we get into the domain I’ve worked in for forty
years. That’s what I like to do: play with ordinary reality, using
unposed actors who are oblivious to the dramas I’ve placed them in.'
