fotografija: trumpa istorija

cover_foto_9986-830-27-3nukainuotoje lentynoje radau visai neblogą knygą – ian jeffrey – fotografija: trumpa istorija. mane sudomino tai, kad knygoje tarp teksto yra ir daug fotografijų, iš jų – keletas net spalvotų. svarbiausias autoriaus pabrėžiamas akcentas – knyga ne apie aparatus ir chemiją, bet apie tai, kas yra nuotraukose ir fotografų galvose. norėčiau paskaityti ką nors panašaus apie dabartinius laikus, nes ši knyga užsibaigia aštuoniasdešimtaisiais. daugybė pavardžių, daugelį pamiršau vos perskaitęs, tikriausiai reiktų perverst dar kartą ir pasigūglinti nuotraukų pavyzdžių. nors nuotraukų knygoje daug, bet dažnai neįdėtos tos, apie kurias sukasi tekstas, arba ne tų autorių apie kuriuos daugiausiai šnekama. nors ir taip aišku, kad toks leidinys yra copyright košmaras.

šiek tiek užkliuvo lietuviškas vertimas. gaila, negaliu palyginti su originalo kalba, bet, man rodos, kad milda dyke pagailėjo vertimui sofistikuotumo, nes po jos interpretacijos ian kalba naiviai, kaip kaimo vaikėzas. nepaisant to, labai rekomenduoju, aptikus šią knygą mušta kaina, nešt į kasą.



kur čia radai tokią mušta kaina?

In technology, once you have bad programmers, you’re doomed. I can’t think of an instance where a company has sunk into technical mediocrity and recovered. Good programmers want to work with other good programmers. So once the quality of programmers at your company starts to drop, you enter a death spiral from which there is no recovery

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses—behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

 Yes, yes, and yes. This is wonderful.

At the end of Glass Jars, I take the glass jar from the Mohlers’ porch—and what I didn’t mention in the video is, I also took two college yearbooks. I mean, I stole them. It’s a criminal act. I always laugh, because there are these books on Zen photography at Barnes & Noble. I think photography is the most anti-Zen activity. It’s all about stopping time, possessing things, holding onto them. And you know, if my goal was to be a healthy person, photography would not be the thing. I have this joke about becoming a binoculographer: you go around and look at the world without photographing. That would be a spiritually healthy way of taking things in. But this wanting to possess it is not so healthy.
