In any art, you don't know in advance what you want to say - it's revealed to you as you say it. That's the difference between art and illustration.
I may be wrong, but the essential illustrative nature of most documentary photography, and the worship of the object per se, in our best nature photography, is not enough to satisfy the man of today, compounded as he is of Christ, Freud, and Marx.
To me documentary photography means making a picture so that the viewer doesn’t think about the man who made the picture. At its esthetic core is very old tradition in art: naturalism. And its purpose is to document all facets of social relationships.
As the language or vocabulary of photography has been extended, the emphasis of meaning has shifted, shifted from what the world looks like to what we feel about the world and what we want the world to mean.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
We stopped doing the things that got us the lead, both offensively and defensively. You can feel it. You're not getting easy shots anymore.
We still played good defense in the first half, but our shots just weren't falling, ... Our defense was clicking. In the second half, we just started knocking them down. We were attacking, and our energy was up.
We still played good defense and pretty good offense. We shot 50%, 40-something from three.
We still only have 39 wins, but every person on the roster was into the game from the first pitch on. We were coming off the bench giving high-fives. We had a good shot in the arm of life. The win was a big part of that.
We still missed too many. They went to the Y today and shot foul shots, about half of them. It was a little bit of an improvement, not as much as we'd like to see.
