Discipline - Fawzan Husain / Anahita Panicker (Thu 14 Jul 2016)

waterfall - black and white - Wentworth Falls / Blue Mountains (Tue 12 Jul 2016(

Fawzan Husain on Discipline:

I want to bring in the discipline of the art and essentially want them to include the five Ws (what, why, where, when, who) in their pictures. So many narratives are often overlooked in this frenzy of shooting unnecessary, mundane things. And many times we don’t concentrate on the things we should actually be looking at.

On Photography - Reflection - David Travis / Raghubir Singh (Mar 1999)

Reflection - Chippendale (Thu 03 Sep 2015)

David Travis on and Photography and Reflection:

for many, the end of mid-career is a time that permits past experience to be substituted for spontaneous invention, as inner reflections create new meanings about that which is already known.

Let the Flow be with You - Max Bervy / Sports Are 80 Percent Mental (Fri 21 Mar 2014)

The Flow of the Crowd - Barcelona (Tue 06 Aug 2013)

Max Bervy (*) talks about The Flow State (*):
The Flow State is a place where the impossible becomes possible, where time slows down and a perfect moment becomes attainable,
via Achieving The Rise Of Flow: An Interview With Steven Kotler (*) by Sports Are 80 Percent Mental (*).

I have known and experienced this state a number of times. Help organising Jenny and Tim's Funerals, particularly Jenny's (*). I felt it in the 500m Master Mixed Final in Prague (*) and funnily enough a couple of posts on this blog [here (*), here (*) and here (*)] that came from nowhere and were written quickly with no review or refinement. I have no idea how I created this video tribute (*) for Joanne, but it is probably my greatest online and creative achievement - it just seemed to flow out of me.

I think I have a few more of these moments in me, but the beauty of it all is, that I can't tell you how, why or when.

Let the Flow be with You.

More On Photography - Saul Leiter - Sean O'Hagan / The Guardian (Sat 30 Nov 2013)

Covered - Split / Croatia (Wed 31 Jul 2013)

Saul Leiter (*) talks more on the mysteries of Photography (*):
I like it when one is not certain what one sees, [..] When we do not know why the photographer has taken a picture and when we do not know why we are looking at it, all of a sudden we discover something that we start seeing. I like this confusion.
via Saul Leiter obituary (*) by Sean O'Hagan (*).

Black - George Street / Sydney (Thu 21 Mar 2013)

Black - George Street / Sydney (Thu 21 Mar 2013)

All these are about light and colour. The Autumn light seems clearer and offers a bit more contrast. It is really noticeable now and I think the last few photos show it.

On Captions - New Colour Guide - John MacLean (Thu 13 Dec 2012)

Bitumen - Skytree / Sumida / Tokyo (Fri 21 Sep 2012)

John MacLean (*) On Captions (*):
The titles nullify the viewer’s question: "What is it?" When that question is answered, the next question might be: "Why is it?"
via Books of the Year: John MacLean's New Colour Guide (*) by Dan Abbe (*).

Water - Yu Garden / Shanghai (Wed 17 Nov 2004)

Dark and abstract. These kind of photos always interest me. Such a long time since I looked at these photos, it took me a little while to remember what it was.
