Sunday, November 25, 2007 @ 1:36 am: PreVisualisation vs. Equipment vs. Technique vs. Emotions
Previsualization.
Liana's question "The importance conveyed by the emotions in an image? Or the importance that the photographer could convey the emotion? The question sounds almost similar but read carefully again. I almost missed the point.
And then again, theres the means of delivery. Equipment and techniques, more important? Technique and equipment should be essential to carrying out any previsualised image. Without it, the previsualised "emotion" of the image could not be effectively conveyed to the viewer. Will get back to you again..
The fundamentals are important, just like a painter should understand his medium or technique prior to work. Techniques and visualization should be 2nd nature.
Khairi's deep deep words "(the) rules, ins & outs of q camera, exposures, overcoming difficulties, genres, methodologies and other tangible stuffs can be taught', but it is 'those intangible ones... like feel and vision, and art of it", which is subjective. He explained that the initial question was not about equipment nor techniques, but rather as he puts it 'what the photographer previsualises will be (either) his care for the picture or care for himself.' For example the difference when a person says, "I want my picture to show human suffering" vs. "I want to show human suffering."
Hence, there is no right or wrong answers to this whole complex debate. We spend an entire night discussing only to realize we are not not making much sense. In the end, it boils down to personal choices. But it was a valid point to ponder on when we go about our lives with our cameras. We previsualise, conceive, and develop images..
Whoever bothered reading this... Well done.
11/12 of 2007 nearly gone. Whats left, make it exciting people..

Reach my prismic soul.

Photography. Ohayo. Watashi paper-kun and I am a piece of paper. My purpose is to have people write on me and to be printed by printers. I like the smell of wood because it smells like my parents. My ambition is to be thrown away and recycled.
