the illusion of the exotic..

quote

‘making photographs of unusual things…..is the low hanging fruit in photography…….Whether it is a compelling photograph must be judged on other criteria.’

and later

‘…photograph your subject as if you’ve seen it a thousand times and then suddenly see it in a new way.’

p25 Within the Frame David duChemin
