Photographic Memory Quotes

"Photography, as a powerful means of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution." – Ansel Adams

The word powerful not only describes the picture, but also cites Ansel. In essence, what he is saying is that photography is (and should always be considered) a dynamic art form though in some circles, that is debated to this day. In this ongoing series will see a multitude of issues and implement key components of the quote from Ansel, expression, communication, perception, interpretation and execution of each. I'll add my point of view, experiences and bring a bit of philosophy in the mix, with the aim of opening eyes and minds to the endless possibilities for inspiration and growth photography as a creative artist.

You will notice that did not use the word motivation. Years as a certified corporate trainer sales me has taught you or I can not motivate someone with words, actions or our artistic result. The real motivation comes purely from within each of us. The external stimuli, the things we see, touch and feel act as the fuel we call inspiration that once communicated, translated and intellectualized within us, becomes the motivation and action. This is a key part of what drives artistic development and individual style. How do you save a lot of passion and self-discipline that claim will affect the speed and extent to develop his artistic identity. As you can see, there is more to take "good pictures" of pointing a camera faces on some issue. Actually, there is more to it than are technically savvy. You must be passionate, disciplined and willing to think outside the box in order to develop their artistic identity is, or in the terminology of Ansel; interpretation.

Internationally renowned author and expert on self development Dr. Wayne Dyer said: "When you change your way of seeing things, things that we look at start to change." Overall, we are creatures of habit of traveling the road least resistance and our comfort zones tend to have rigid boundaries. From a photographic perspective quote Dr. Dyer is very applicable. Great picture, in my view, does not start to look, but see. It starts with the eyes and then translated in the brain. By controlling the speed of this process you afford yourself the opportunity for a more intimate that affect the interaction. This will result not only intensified awareness of what is around you, but the most powerful works – the basic technique for large images. To me, this was one of the most significant changes I made in my approach to photography landscapes. Using a camera large format assisted in this task, since it only requires more time to make a picture with one. But I found that by slowing down I started to look beyond the obvious and that helped me the new form, the broader perspective and further develop the unique and intimate performance or composition of matter I was photographing.

So, where do you start in this effort to shape a unique artistic identity? Slow down and do not mean only when you have a camera in their hands. Spend more time thinking about the impact the issue has on you and then how they want their points of view or interpretation of this theme. Exit of your comfort zone and try new approaches and strive for flawless execution of the photographic process. Rest assured we will give more attention to the rules of eternal process later in this series. Go beyond the limits of your comfort zone and embrace the idea that change is the only constant in time and that can be as exciting and rewarding as it is disconcerting.

Let me conclude with something that Pablo Picasso once said: "I am always doing what I can do, to learn how do. "It sounds simple, but this approach requires a commitment to self-discipline. You achieve coherence through the implementation of repetition in all aspects photography, which eventually becomes the mental muscle memory or photographic process routine. This will benefit art if you stand in the southern edge of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, on Lake Superior at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan, or your own garden. It is the first month of the new year and no best time for a new beginning, new perspective and a new found level of artistic individuality. I hope you are inspired to return and participate in these exercises contemplation and discovery. Increasingly focused on his artistic thought process will help your photo, "a powerful means of expression and communication." Until next time, be careful.
