Just you, your camera and the big, wide world. August 19, 2012 – 9:21 pm. I am going to outlive myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Exist slowly, softly, like these trees, like a puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar. Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea. What does it mean to live an ‘authentic life’? There’s a beauty in the decay of a carcass, as it breaks down and its molecules return to the Earth to continue their aeons-long cycle. The black space of the mind intrudes, but this is not a fearf...At othe...

Just you, your camera and the big, wide world. A long break… I’m back and slightly irritated. January 30, 2014 – 12:56 pm. I see it’s been over a year — I went travelling, which I wrote about here: http:/ fleetingexperience.wordpress.com/. But I’ve determined I need to pick up the camera again, after largely ignoring it for six months or so. More than that, I want to return to the fashion side of photography that I was doing. So I dusted off my website. Or at least, so it should be. 2) It’s between.

Just you, your camera and the big, wide world. July 11, 2011 – 8:50 am. Its been a while, I know. The project started out with grand visions and plans. It’s going through that groping, feeling, lost phase. But In its early form, the sublimation is about replacement. Substitution of one for the other, with little regard for the implications. Boys will be boys. A photo by Tony Martin (NT). A photo by zosogis. How do these people get caught in the moment AND take the photo? A photo by krameroneill. These th...

Just you, your camera and the big, wide world. Where does an image come from? November 27, 2012 – 1:56 pm. For a while now I have followed the work of Yoram Roth. A remarkable artist from Berlin, a photographer who has a strong sense of the purpose of art. His blog. Is a collection of fascinating insights and thoughts into the world of visual art, as well as his own projects. Is a lovely and concise exposition of this idea). Personally, I struggle with pre-conceiving ideas in visual form (I’m also ...

Just you, your camera and the big, wide world. Cool, calm and collected. August 30, 2012 – 1:09 pm. Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. For me, an important aspect of photography is this very function. When I look through the lens, I get a sense of calm. Photography has an immediacy. It promotes mindfulness – you really are concentrating on something ‘here and now’ and being aware of your surroundings and what is going on. C) 2011 Michael K P Robinson. Laquo; Existential Angst.

Just you, your camera and the big, wide world. Controversy where none should exist. December 4, 2012 – 1:51 pm. Vatra Magazine, Issue 2. For body paint, the model needs to be nearly completely naked. It just doesn’t work well otherwise. Frequently, the underlying nakedness is obvious enough, despite being beside the point. Discussions with people on this typically revolve around ‘community standards’. I was upset at it being taken down, but others seemed to think that it was I that couldn...I know that o...

Just you, your camera and the big, wide world. August 15, 2012 – 11:24 pm. We go round again and again, the highs and lows cycling over. As it happens, winter became spring, spring became summer, summer became autumn, and then it became winter again, and only now do I return to this blog and this project. Followers of my facebook page. Will think of me as a kind of fashion/culture type photographer now. My flickr. What is the value of others seeing your photographs?

So much easier then to not confront humanity, but rather become lost in the landscape where the people aren’t. Can this be where you go when you can’t face the people? Is that going to lead to anything interesting? Why do we feel uncomfortable photographing people doing things that are visible to the world anyway? There were people here. (c) Michael Robinson. Or is it merely an addition?

The camera sees, and you are the viewer. The remote controls are levered by your hands; your brain the director. Within the focal plane, a moment is stored; upon development, something of the photographer is revealed. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.
