Occasional Ramblings with a Camera

This blog is my occasional ramblings on here, there and about, with and very occasionally without a camera. Photography, art, landscape (principally Scottish), heritage and wildlife are the things that interest me the most, so thats what I'll be writing about and of course showing pictures of. They say that a photograph is worth a thousand words, well I'm not so sure about that but if it is then great as it will save me a heap of typing, all power to the image.

Stephen Shore

26-01-2018

I've just found this really interesting YouTube video of Stephen Shore talking about his work at the Museum of Modern Art (New York). Where he has a retrospective exhibition.
Shore very much speaks my language but in a rather more articulate way it has to be said:), especially here when discussing his particular way of looking at, and of seeing (for him) the Montana landscape. For me a Scottish moorland landscape. A landscape largely devoid of elements to help frame or formalise. Though in a way here he is talking about subtle pictorial perspective.
I love his phrase 'resonance of constant attention' and 'seeing with constant attention'.
My Folds images are possibly the closest I've come to this awareness, their subtlety requires for me and I hope the viewer a visual awareness and resonance.

There are several other videos relating to this exhibition that are also worth viewing.
