BLUR....

“in the blur of the photograph, time leaves its gleaming, snail-like track”.

Wright Morris

 

A gallery of blur is what I have on offer today.  This is not a gallery of long exposure photographs that require a tripod to capture the flow of water.  This is a gallery of street photography, shooting on the run, trying to be creative through the lens.  It means shooting at  super slow shutter speeds with the aperture as high as possible and/or the ISO as low as it can get so the photo is not overexposed.  It’s about me moving the camera or letting the scene in front of me move through my lens. 

Some like this work.  They find it artsy and creative.  Others find it gimmicky.  Is this a photograph?  Really? They complain it is not sharp.  Well??? Exactly!

I am not going to say much on this blog.  I am going to let  the pictures speak for themselves. 

Do you get a sense of energy?  Do you find the photograph impressionistic? Do you find it creative?  These are the challenges I set.  In these photographs I am trying to create something new, something different, something no one else will capture.

 

Let me know what you think.
