A Full House
Giving a talk about photography is always a new adventure, no matter how many times i have done it, because I never know what I’ll be talking about until I am up there in front of the audience. I like that risk because it is just like making photographs; the unexpected can happen at any moment.
It may be a new thought triggered by a slide that I have seen many times before but now strikes me in a fresh way, or else it might be a question from someone that sends me off in a direction I hadn’t considered before, or finally it might be the challenge of the new work I am making which might push me to reconsider the older works coming onto the screen.
We can never imagine the work we might make in the future – that’s part of the wonder of all art making – but when we are in the present and can look back, as I can, over 50 years of work, there seems to be a continuous path that unwinds in a way that sometimes seems inevitable.

Are you talking to them about you or about them. Hard to tell from your rant. Could be both I suspect.

Sorry, one more point. Continuous? The next shot is never inevitable. If it is, you lost it. A photographer never knows what will be seen. And a photographer never knows whether it will be more personally self-rewarding to see or record. Grow as you age.

Duckshot,
Your snide sarcasm and consistent misreading of these blogs suggests to me that this blog isn’t for you and that you aren’t paying attention.
