It’s OK
“Once a photographer has learned a few ‘tricks’, they are presented with a choice: keep chasing gimmicks or formulas, or look deeper. It’s OK to be lost. It’s OK not to know what you’re doing. It’s OK to fail. It’s absolutely fine to feel insecure about your work. In fact, all of these things are very cool because they state very loudly that a person is trying, striving, exploring and searching in a very personal sense…. call it what you will.”

I recently purchased his book The Waiting Game II. More on that later.
Harry Gruyaert – Edges
Why I love this book (in mind-popping order):
- The Edges book is in landscape orientation, which avoid pictures breaking over the book the fold in the middle.
- Harry Gruyaert takes pictures that many consider boring.
- Grainy-ness is a great feature.
- Gruyaert does not shy away from taking pictures from a distance – versus close Robert Capa quote (mis)interpretation “a picture is not good enough if it is not close”.
- The colors.
- The broccoli picture.
- Simplicity (deceptive).
