Nothing Matters





You know, in the end, with photography, nothing really matters. Wait, I don't mean that in a bad way, quite the opposite. Nothing REALLY matters other than what YOU want or need. Selfish? Sure. Idealistic? Si. Confusing? Okay.

Sometimes, when I bang my head, or when I'm took weak to use both hands, sometimes I don't even focus, and you know what, I like these pictures.

Nobody else seems to like them, but it doesn't matter. I do. And that is all that matters.

Who do you shoot for? You? Your kids? An editor? A magazine? Think about it. Parameters on our lives, we all have them, but sometimes you just gotta cut them loose and forget about it.

So, turn that focus knob the wrong way and see what happens.

Dan, you know I love your work but this unfocused stuff is terrific! I know because I do it all the time! Of course I don't do it on purpose.... :-)

It just doesn't matter.
