Something about damaged photos, choosing of topics.

There is something to be rejected in ’perfect photos’ as they may look too good to be real. Staged, rehearsed and paraded photos where there is something enjoyable and nice is to cheer us up. Photography is much used in this purpose. It is a mood creator taking the viewer somewhere and good as such, with a purpose. We have stuck ideas of what is perfection and what is beautiful, how it looks, as it is a look and desired. Of course we must define what is perfection, what is the aesthetics of perfection. A perfect photo is a window to a lovely world and to personality. Perfection is to know what one wants, it is a goal to which there is a road. We will notice it very often is a matter of taste and tradition and what we are used to seeing, what we like, what moves us. How much do we dare to push buttons of viewers? What does rejection tell?

We must show others that we know what is good. What do we want to tell via preferences and the medium is what is interesting. What are you telling me and why. Perfection is in part a fantasy. Is it yours, do you own it or are you reaching out for it? It is personal, somehow naive, shallow and a thing to be had, thing of vanity and making a gap between. Perfect photos uplift the photographer to a illustrator of dreams and achievements, that something is exact, right and in order and the maker of photos must know something of order and organising. The photographer is the hero owning the medium. There is heroism in photography which is itself disturbing. Sizes, prices, glows and sounds of cameras are a thing and sight and matter of awe themselves. I am interested in what is the edge there too much to take and accept. What is unacceptable in terms of photography? Is it ugliness, greyness, fuzziness, lack of light, obscenity, unprofessional look, gender, lack of money or what?

What is the point and issue we are not touching, do not want to see and accept, are not showing but removing, are afraid of or despise in photography. We think we know perfection, so there is a ground to be followed? Rules such as don’t burn pictures with too much light. Perfection in photography is more complex than what is there in sight at first glance. It is eye candy for some, nostalgia, arranging a set and prettiness immortalised. Is there something more that needs a deeper look, what is the story or clue behind there. What is interesting in a photograph for me is fragility via a powerful medium, tool (too powerful for me to touch? Am I too small to be holding a camera?) and how this medium and media can be challenged, as it obviously must be. What gets captured, where do we point our cameras at and what does it tell?

Damage on a photo there can be is dust, scratches, negatives ageing, sudden wetness makes paper get glued on negative. Anything that creates something on the surface other than a picture should be removed. To please the eye is an interesting demand. Something gone wrong in the process of preserving a photograph, or a disturbance during any phase of making, disruptive something is a remainder of importance of imperfection, to understand this makes one take more dimensional photos than just surfaces that instantly please. Damage and doing wrong in photography is somewhat a punishable act as it is highly seen a technical art where one has to master the equipment, light, have eye for situations and capture in seconds. How good one is, is very much a technical issue for many. It is an issue of being accepted as a photographer. In other words how much equipment one can afford, which has led me to question authority and decision-making processes within the industry. Quality and how much wealth it needs to be achieved and how much wealth dictates quality and creativity in general.

In unreal photos of reality there is awe, how it was made, how much it is about the equipment and how much it is the master behind the lens. It is not unheard of to witness men saying women can’t photograph or you can never afford this camera. My destiny is of course set by people who know better. When money is the number one authority there, getting it gives you authority or is it skill.

Travelling man

5 lokakuun, 201716 lokakuun, 2019 | Henna Timanttimetsä

What are the purposes of travel nowadays? It is little pain to get the most pleasurable experience. It is interesting how much we move ourselves from one place to another and what does this action, method and motion mean, stand for us other than feeling alive. How compulsory it is as we compare ourselves to others and what they do. We must match up the achievements of others and travel is an achievement. Other people inspire us to go, our frustration and finding life force us. For us to feel alive, be achieving members of the modern society and powerful today is to be able to move freely, feel the importance of you. To go around signifies living and of course we must have a place to go back to, also something to document the trip. The documentation is important for remembering and going back to the moment of freedom and enjoyment. How we were there, how we looked and what we found. Travel is the purpose of living and be alive in a moment, it is in the movement and in the new. It may be the purpose of you, how you present yourself and see what you must do in your life to be what you want you to be. Movement stands for adventure, going to to some extent the unknown, if you are up for it you can. It is also about conquering yourself, going against something that is hindering you, restraining you from expressing yourself, living and doing what you want to do and be. How you travel tells who you are. This is how we live and travel is a big part of the modern. It is now at reach for all to do and it is freeing as there is the initiative of your own no matter how ready-made the trip is. The ready-made is the modern and for all to enjoy the same good experience is to share it. How much the trip looks like you, becomes part of you and you feel the movement is liberating you and when you come back home something may have changed for the better in your life. You went and survived, lived and learned something. The learning is in front of our idea of travelling and why we go. To think what happens when you walk may sound too simple a task. We don’t have to think our walking, it happens easily when nothing is stopping us.

How to see and understand the idea and purpose of adventure and exploration of ours today and what it is for other than leaving routines and something exhausting behind. Adventure is going to the unknown and appreciation of existing when anything can happen to you. To see excitement in a routine done daily may be difficult, to think routines over in a new way could be an interesting start, to do and think in a new way. Not to see the routine as compulsory but as a method of existing and choosing how you exist. Is this how we want to exist? An adventure, things that go unnoticed, happen suddenly and change everything completely, sound like a disaster. Routine and habit of travelling is to think how to be adventurous in the every day, to think that the goal of adventure is overrated and an immature fantasy, may put us back to ground. Moving from a to b and b to a, is matter of thinking about how you do it, why you do it, how you feel when you do it, what happens when you do it, what kind of things you notice during. Changing tiny habits changes your brain, for example take another route. What is it like to move the average way daily? Is it the accepted orthodox way, fast or slow, what is the purpose of time spent for making the trip, what is the purpose of time in travelling altogether. Effort makes travelling spiritual. The way most people do is to choose the safest, easiest and fastest method. Is it possible to change that pattern of thinking how we travel and what is the travelling? To go far is our most preferable goal. It is exploration in an era of high speed. To be an explorer and think it is authentic, individual and a personal choice.
