rules, rules, rules
...seems like from the beginning of time, many artists chose to follow the same politically correct path, forming the rules of arts, reaching a mutual understanding of what is ideal and pleasing to our delicate eye...
on the other hand
non-photography represents the individual's [artistic] self-expression which cannot be categorized into a style or a movement with its own list of characteristics and guidelines...
While making street photos, non-photography was formed. non-p is the concept of taking energy as far as possible, and with no regards to excellency. it is about making pictures while being free of the photographer's extra cargo of filters, stylish lenses and other expensive equipment. the non-photographer's main tools are enthusiasm,
an open mind and hopefully some creativity. more so, non-p has no use for books (too boring) or calculations (too calculated). for the most part, I make street photos, which is about recording the natural pace of the street life "as is", without any interference on my part. No pre-planning is involved. I have my cameras (Minolta SRT 101 and an un-sophisticated digital camera) along with me at all times.
