My interest in photography is above all for the experience of seeing. It's a process of contacting and understanding the world. Curiosity is my driving force. I have been an avid photo-enthusiast for a couple of decades, and try to use the camera that best suits the situation.
That situation finds me traveling more now than ever before, and a compact RF system gives me the best quality with the least fuss. My main kit is based on the wonderful new Zeiss Ikon. A digicam is more stealthy, but the quality is not yet there for me. I am happy with slr's in general, but have given up travelling with them due to their larger size.
When not on the road, I find inspiration in good books. I am primarily interested in great images and less concerned with the photographer's choice of gear. Good subject matter, composition and creativity insire me to improve my own work. Over time, I have accumulated a rather large collection of photography books, which, along with practice, have made me a better photographer. Perhaps even, a better person.
In the end, a simple approach is often the most effective. A camera should be an invisible link between the subject and artist. With this in mind, I would like to mention the Edouard Boubat Monograph, published in 2004 by Abrams. Edouard created a beautiful collection of delightfully absorbing images with his RF cameras. This volume reproduces those slices of life in large and beautiful pictures. It is a book to get lost in. It transports me to another time and place.
I would love to hear from others about a book or photographer that has inspired them to improve their own work, or who has enriched their view of life.
Happy travels,
