In my eyes, photography is the ability to deliver to its viewer a sense of a certain moment. <\/span>I use the word \"sense\" here because I believe that the idea of a moment is fiction; and that an experience is (truly) uncapturable, nor definable; Everything around us is prolonged: happening, occuring, being (w<\/span>ords are lacking in this way). A<\/span>ll more true when dealing with something as quick(?) and as inconstant as <\/span>the palette of photography: <\/span>light.<\/span>

I never thought or articulated the above w<\/span>hen I started to photograph, b<\/span>ut I did become <\/span>instinctively <\/span>drawn to photograph abstract photo images. I have found myself poundering many times <\/span>about <\/span>a particular sight or a scenario in the context of its own motion.<\/span>
<\/span>
Usually, when we photograph, the camera \"freezes\" the happening, and we define its product, the image, as \"realistic\". But in reality, what seems \"lifeless\" or motionless is actually is, and a prolonged image might reflect, in many cases, more of what is real. <\/span>

In my eyes, an illusionary-real \"scale\" was formed, a blend of the restless and the motionless<\/span>.<\/span> That \"scale\" did not only<\/span> widened the already narrow point of view of the camera<\/span>, but also changed the way I looked at things. <\/span>In a way, the search for a relative motion of something (or some happening) while using <\/span>an object which is meant<\/span>, basically, to negate it, to \"freeze\" it - set free what I was trying to seize.<\/span>
<\/span>Mechanically, the camera's shutter speed took the front seat. I remember how my finger flicked frantically, sometimes, on the shutter \/ aperture ring, in search for a suitable \"medium-long exposure\" - for lack of a better term - to express, in an abstract image, a particular experience. The wind hammering the branches of a pine tree - what is? what do I really see? <\/span>

I think that there is a vast well of creativity waiting, for those who<\/span> try to achieve something that is, by its own definition and tools, unachievable - while admitting the unattainable and <\/span>the natural limitations of our own perception, all the while persisting upon the attempt with humility and grace.<\/span>
If you reach the Northern star you lose the north.<\/span>
