Photography and Painting/ Drawing

- a comparison -

Photography is for me the spontaneous impulse of perpetual visual attention, that captures the instant and its eternity.

Drawing gathers through its line, what the conscience has conceived of this instant.

The photo is an immediate act, the drawing is a meditation.

I wish it was as easy as it sounds, but then if I think about it neither sounds pretty easy to achieve.



There is sometimes a lot I see, but to get to the essence is pretty hard, especially if it's only a line, a stroke it depends upon.
