I gave a lesson on subject of my expertise when I began my teaching degree, as we all did. Mine was digital media, and how to use a digital camera. The brief I gave my ‘students’ was to do a Jeffery Smart type image. I demonstrated this using a little tiny digital auto camera-you can get good stuff out of them-it’s just knowing how. I was pretty happy with this, and I love Jeffery Smart. (all about lighting and composition) [side note] Have you seen one of his painting in the flesh? I love the composition and colours-but they are so scratchy! Didn’t expect that. Not lush, as the colours imply-they looks better reproduced. [another side note] I’m glad he doesn’t give in to conjecture about what his work means-it his style, and it works. anyhoo enjoy

A little bit of history

No, this isn’t a history lesson, it is a small piece of my life and how I came to where I am at the present. I was born in Liverpool, England which makes me a ‘scouser’. I grew up mostly in Lancashire with diversions to Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Gibraltar. I am a total Lancastrian at heart. When I was 17, I joined the British Army but I had a passion for photography even then. While in the army I became a part time assistant to Royal and social photographer Tom Hustler. Tom was an extremely competent photographer who had never passed a photographic course in his life. I met my partner during that time and eventually moved over to Australia. / I base a lot of my work on the style of Henri Cartier-Bresson as I am always looking for that moment in time, but I am also looking for the reality of life. / I sometimes work with a good friend Matt Setright who is on this site, who I am mentoring.

A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into. ~Ansel Adams I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it. ~Author Unknown I think the best pictures are often on the edges of any situation, I don’t find photographing the situation nearly as interesting as photographing the edges. ~William Albert Allard, “The Photographic Essay” I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything. ~John Steinbeck Actually, I’m not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I’m not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren’t cooks. ~Henri Cartier-Bresson A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety. ~Ansel Adams I just think it’s important to be direct and honest with people about why you’re photographing them and what you’re doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul. ~Mary Ellen Mark Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. ~Edward Steichen / Edward Steichen – The Flatiron (1905)

Digital Photography and The Decisive Moment

An attitude that’s common with people using a digital camera is that with the virtually unlimited number of shots, it doesn’t matter if you screw up. Check the LCD, adjust, do it again, repeat until you get it right. I’ve never agreed with this. Sometimes the opportunity is over in an instant and you never get that second shot. Or the third, fourth, fiftieth. Henri Cartier-Bresson is one of the world’s most celebrated photographers. The father of street photography, a founder of the illustrious Magnum Photos. He also published a book titled in English, The Decisive Moment. “Photography is not like painting, there is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative,” he said. “Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.” Henri Cartier-Bresson, 1957. True, not every photographic situation is going to require this, sometimes you do get that second chance, but really, if you can do it the first time, it gives you more time to take different photographs, explore your limits and when that moment appears, you’re ready.

This is the world-famous mural in Quebec City, Canada – and as you probably know, the 17th-century city is World Heritage Listed. I shot this in September 2005, after waiting patiently for several minutes for the throng of tourists to clear. The answer is simple. There is only one real person in the photo – the man wearing an olive-green baseball cap and a dark-blue jacket over his light-blue collared shirt. He was part of a tour group and was waiting for a family member (or friend) to take a shot of him against the huge mural. All the others are simply figures in the mural. Situated in the Lower City, the soaring mural, which covers the side of a whole building, tells the story of more than 400 years of history. The piece of art is called La Fresque des Quebecois and I was told it is a collaborative work by a dozen artists from Canada and France. The mural is five storeys high and if you’d care to see it in its entirety, simply check out Hit The Wall which is a 2008 post on my blog. Unveiled in 1999, the 420-square metre artwork encompasses historical characters including Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain and Francois-Xavier Garneau. It is probably one of the most photographed sights in the Old City – so when I saw only one person in front of the mural, instead of the milling crowds, I simply had to hit the trigger immediately. Shot with a Canon EOS 3000, using Kodak film.

August 1st, 2009, Old Montreal. I was standing there in the heat, under the blazing sun, debating whether I should take a picture of a black pair of leggings from which emerged two feet clad in deep red suede shoes, when a flash of white in the corner of my eyes grabbed my attention. It’s been years since I have seen a nun in full dress. In the area where I live, they tend to favour a civil dress code nowadays. She looked so crisp and clean in all that sea of colour. Focal length 200 mm / ISO-100 / Aperture f/8 / Shutter 1/500 sec. Shot in aperture priority / Nikon D60 / AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 80-200 mm f/2.8D ED (rented) Finished in 5th position of Top Ten in the challenge Two Worlds Collide 2 of the Images & Ideas group on August 30, 2009

The golden cliche of shooting with the sun behind your back just never fails, just not always necessary. / I just got that title since my school instructor was talking about that topic last night in school, and this photo reminded me of it. I took the inspiration for this from Henri Cartier Bresson’s Street Photography from his early works. He’s my hero! Location : Terminal Drive Avenue, Vancouver BC, Canada

Henri Cartier-Bressons "Decisive Moment"

The Decisive moment / A recording of that one moment in time when all the elements line up to allow the artist to capture the perfect combination of light, shadow, color, action, expression and emotion to form the perfect image. A moment that can be expected maybe anticipated but not created. For if the image is created, as in the studio, it can be recreated time and time again and is not a fleeting moment in time. Since a decisive moment is unplanned and involves action or the temporary positioning of key elements it typically refers to dynamic developing situations. The term Decisive Moment was first coined by the noted French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson considered by many to be the father of modern photojournalism Cartier-Bresson’s, The Decisive Moment, 1952 contains the term “the decisive moment” now synonymous with Cartier-Bresson: “There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.” A Henri Cartier-Bresson capture of a man jumping through a puddle / Cartier –Bresson believed that “Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact” Chinese soldiers jumping in unison / “Photography is not like painting,” Cartier-Bresson told the Washington Post in 1957. “There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative,” he said. “Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.” Medics care for a motorcycle crash victim / Robert Capa capturing the instant of death. / J.Scott Applewhites Pulitzer Prize winning photo of US President Bill Clinton, seconds before admitting he had lied about an affair. / “The simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression… . In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif.” — Henri Cartier-Bresson. _“I had just discovered the Leica. It became the extension of my eye, and I have never been separated from it since I found it. I prowled the streets all day, feeling very strung-up and ready to pounce, determined to “trap” life to preserve life in the act of living. Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph. . . “_Bresson
