Riflessioni sulla fotografia

Copio e incollo uno scritto dal blog di George Barr, che invito tutti gli appassionati di fotografia a visitare (georgebarr.blogspot.com). Lo pubblico perché lo trovo molto utile per me, e quindi ne voglio tenere memoria per rileggermelo ogni tanto. Può darsi che servirà anche ad altri che, come me, a volte faticano ad uscire di casa con la macchina foto a tracolla, ed allora cercano scuse per sentirsi in pace con se stessi, ben sapendo invece che si stanno dicendo una bugia... :-)

This Isn't Photography


There are a lot of things we do in our pursuit of the craft/hobby/art of photography, which often distract from the real job of DOING photography. For example:

- talking about photography


- reading about photography (except for my books of course)


- playing with cameras


- running tests


- checking out the local camera store


- trying new papers


- checking out online reviews/anecdotes/stories


- writing about photography (oops)


- thinking that we should be photographing, except that (here add your own excuse - weather, time, money...)


Gee, when you add it all up, that's a lot of time NOT photographing - what would happen if we spent an equal amount of time photographing - just think how good we'd get, how many marvelous images we'd make.

Buone foto a tutti!
