To
me it is no mystery that we can only photograph effectively what we
are truly interested in or-maybe more importantly-are grappling with.
Often unconsciously. Otherwise the photographs are merely about an
idea or a concept-that stuff eventually falls flat for me-there must
be something more, some emotional hook for it to really work for me.
