On Being Human, Photo Creation, Chaos and Understanding - Spencer Lum (Tue 08 Jan 2013)

Taking Human Pictures (*) - Erskineville Road / Erskineville (Mon 31 Dec 2012)
Spencer Lum (*) writes On being Human (*) and Photo Creation (*):

Human pictures aren’t pictures of people.

They’re pictures that mean something to people.

And there are as many ways to create them as there are pictures to take.

to which he expands On Chaos (*) and On Understanding (*):

Take this crazy, complex, overgrown world of ours, distill it down to something, and you’ve done exactly what you’re supposed to do.

You’ve restructured a systemic chaos more complex than we’ll ever know into terms we, as humans, can understand.
