Extreme Photography Instruction

A friend turned me onto this blog by a photography student. It works best if you go to the oldest posting in the archive and then read the newer ones in chronological order. Or start on the last page and keep clicking “previous page.” Here are a few samples of quotes from the professor:

The camera in your hand is not a passport for you to be a moron…

You can never ever “capture” anything in a photo. You haven’t captured a person in your photo because they’re not arrested there. All you can do is merely pause a real life situation. So don’t even think about saying capture and photograph in the same sentence or I will behead you.

Student: Do you have a fondest memory? Roma: Yes. It was the minute before I had to walk in here and talk to you. [This kind of student question does not typically arise in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.]
