Keeping  it Simple

9/3/2014

I try to keep my photographic work simple. Just as Hemingway wrote in a spare and distilled way, he left the imagination to the audience. Today a lot of  images have become too complicated and dressed up, with colour, filter and technique that is often the instant process of a computer, rather than the observers eyes. 

 I prefer black and white because it strips away so much unnecessary information and leaves the viewer with a distilled visual narrative.  It becomes less about me the photographer and more about what is seen, and some times the questions of the unseen.  Just as Hemingway wouldn't waste pages and the readers time on descriptions of pretty sunsets, in black and white you can't really see them anyway.
