“That’s what photography does. It’s very
related to poetry. It’s suggestive and fragmentary & unsatisfying in
a lot of ways. It’s the art of limitation. Framing the world. It’s as
much about what you leave out as what you put in. With photography you
have one little moment and you allow everyone else to fill it in.”
Photographer: Abbie Mansel
I agree with the quote that photography is related to poetry. I am a poet myself and perform spoken word. There has been many times where I have written a piece from looking photography. It creates a new setting for the mind!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I always have been interesting in poetry not very good at it myself. Visual arts are more my thing.
ReplyDeleteTo me flowers in a picture can elicit so much emotion in the way that they are shot. Nothing else portrays such pure and vibrant colors, and such blossoming life.
