An interesting article<\/a> to come upon after my recent musings<\/a> about changes in photography and the photography I do. Paul Graham describes what his working process is like and what he is showing you, as well as what he sees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is everyone addicted to prepackaged spectacular moments, as if that\u2019s all that\u2019s worth photographing?\u201d Mr. Graham said. \u201cThere is so much more to the flow of life all around us that isn\u2019t revolving around perfect page-one moments.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am intrigued by both the physical processes described and the creative process described in the article, including how he describes his periods of apparent distractions.<\/p>\n

Like those of most photographers today, Mr. Graham\u2019s computer is a virtual studio. Pictures can be enlarged, minimized and moved around on the screen, which was not possible looking at exposures in a linear fashion during the long epoch of the contact sheet.<\/p>\n

He is hands-on at every stage, including the wall-size exhibition prints he makes during several weeklong stints throughout the year. He has access to a wide-format printer for his own printing \u2014 up to 64 inches to 80 inches \u2014 but emphasizes that his images are not altered or manipulated; what you see is what he photographed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
