[QUOTE="Streetshooter, post: 75481, member: 71"] Sounds like Camera Lucida to me. The real issue at hand is the freedom to think, redefine and create a new photo philosophie. What I mean is this. It's great to pay Homage to Bresson, Kertesz, Winogrand ect. We must always pay our respects to the old masters because they have carved the way for us. It is our responsibility to rethink, relearn and find a new definition of the concepts that lay before us and eventually behind us. By doing this we pay the deepest respect because we take what we have learned and move forward to take things in a new direction. The hard part for us is to let go. It's almost impossible. We work with the past instilled in our creative mind and when we try something new, there is not much solid ground to compare and rest upon. It's easier and safer to gaze upon history. That history if left unchallenged, will force us to repeat it over and over. [/QUOTE]
