Chip Litherland:
What’s the point? The photography business can be a rat race. There are tens of thousands of photographers out there doing exactly what you and I do. Everyone has one unique thing – a vision. That vision can be driven by ego, competition, passion, fear, curiosity, artistry, adversity, and talent. What drives yours? It should be you.
Sometimes feeding the beast is easiest when that beast is you.

I remember looking at a picture of a farm when I was
a boy. It was an old photo I’d found in a box in my
grandparent’s attic. It was cold and dusty and I knew
I really wasn’t supposed to be there. And yet, in my
hand was another world. I fell into it and, ever so
briefly, I was warm and there were birds in the thick
summer air. The grass was lush beneath my feet. This
was another universe that had been sliced paper thin
there in my palm.This then is my collection of slices. Enjoy.

‘Like a One Eyed Cat’, Lee Friedlander – Out of the Cool
Haverstraw, New York, 1966
Friedlander is a photographer, never forget. Although a major photographic artist, he is not an ‘artist utilising photography.’ He uses the camera, that unthinking machine, to transcribe his visual perceptions of the world.
