Adam Marelli on Photography and the Ordinary:
The more ordinary the better.via What did Japanese art do to photography: Part 2 by Adam Marelli.
Another common term photographers use to describe the ordinary is banal, being the hallmark of my own photography. In Japan in Sep 2012 I was at my banal best.
there is nothing more reassuring than reading the words of a perfect stranger who is saying exactly what you feelvia Venice, through the eyes of a Writer, Mirsada Hadzic (*) by Adam Marelli (*).
an apprentice, no one usually cares who you are, what you do, and if you ever succeed. It is the master who gets all of the attention and that’s just fine, because like an unripe vegetable the apprentice is not yet fit for human consumption.via Eric Chevalier: The Blacksmith’s Apprentice (*) by Adam Marelli (*).
When you pick up a camera the options are limitless.via Danny Lyon Domino Player (*) by Adam Marelli (*).
The worlds of spectacular and lack luster are very close to one another.
Anyone who has taken a shot they love (*) knows that the shot before and the shot after were failures (*).
As photographers, we swim in a visual world where things can go either way, in the fraction of a second.
But when we can anticipate (*) and understand (*) how our decisions (*) can impact an image, that awareness (*) lets us become more than observers.
We become authors.
