Shunga Creek Visit

The Subjective Artist

Photography by it's shear nature seems to struggle in it's distinguishing of these two counter approaches. In the beginning a photograph had but one purpose, to document. This could be a specific time, event, or moment but the purpose was purely documentation. This great grandfather mindset of photography holds firmly to this day. Though it is safe to say the vast majority now expect a photograph to be something more than just a documentary thing. At what point does a photograph cease being documentary and start being subjective? When indeed.

Moments of extreme joy are like flowers in a breeze swaying every which way in an attempt to capture every ray of sun.
