My favorite definition of photography is …a record of the behavior of light during an instant of time. Those scientists among us will debate an instant or now or consciousness but for me now is “today”. Maybe it is a few hours of time but I have been programmed to think in those increments. We all have.

That is your signature composition and it is distressing me. <BR/><BR/>It seems that I am beginning to capture scores of tilted images. I cannot seem to help myself. The technique is like a tune that keeps playing in my head. A gorgeous melody that won't go away. <BR/><BR/>I shall overcome it, but Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869579042505598957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34175158.post-56261287119489909472007-09-22T20:32:00.000-04:002007-09-22T20:32:00.000-04:00(Trub) Okay... lemme get reeeeeely heavy here... ...(Trub) Okay... lemme get reeeeeely heavy here... your evocative post's encouraged it.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, as far as our brains are concerned, there really isn't a "now". It happens too quickly. By the time we are aware of "now" it has become "then". And yet.... and yet... we live in the "now". <BR/><BR/>How can that be?

It gets harder the more time goes by, but that applies only to the "pure" organic school of photography, and that you detest anyway, so what?<BR/><BR/>The image? Brilliant. What else?
