All is lost..

Death Valley 2024

There was a time when we would talk about Photographers Photography; Work that photographers knew was good, but often overlooked by the general public. It wasn’t about grabbing attention through over saturation, or creating something that doesn’t exist. It was about interesting subject matter, composition that made you look at the subject in a certain way, and most of all, an image that actually said something.

I feel like we have really lost something in photography that we used to talk about, that is, the image and what it represents. Sadly, these days with it’s click-bait mentality to obtain more likes from people you do not know, let alone respect, has taken over.

After 30 years of making photographs, I know this image (above) is good and covers everything I mentioned. In fact I think its the best image I have made this year. But one things for sure, its not worthy of Instagram.
