The Humble Art

This is a quite brilliant, incandescent essay on the nature of photography and the photograph.

You ask questions that everyone who professes to be a photographer ought to be absorbed by, obsessed by, animated by, driven by, haunted by.
Alas, very few will care about your cerebration of photography at all, and those who might have profited most will care the least of all.

Two of your observations I call out for special applause:

â€Â¢ Photography celebrates the ‘accident’ of art.
At its best, photography is a transformative process, and the photographer does well to keep the loosest possible control, ideally bordering on the negligent, over that alchemy.

â€Â¢ ‘Isn’t it thrilling not to know what a photograph is?’
Yes, because it inspires curiosity. Curiosity is the most important thing in art.

This is my choice for best essay. It̢۪s the best short essay on photography that I̢۪ve seen anywhere.

Thank you.

Interesting. I don't hate it. It speaks to me. It is saying "six!" :)

Have to admit I didn't get it. Partially because I was looking for human girls. I didn't even see the right dog's nose. Once I saw your description of "drinking from", it clicked.
