photography

Sometimes something has to hit me over the head several times before I finally become aware. I just watched a video about Henry Wessel. I had seen some of these pictures and the more I saw, the more I liked. He has a book out that I have ordered from my local library. I did a search on this blog to see if I had posted about him before. It turns out I have. First in 2004 and then again last year. The first link has a link to photographs. The second link has a link to an article about him. The thing that stood out to me in the article was that Henry has used only one camera and one lens. A M series Leica with a Canon 28mm lens.





It doesn't matter what he used. His images are simply amazing. Be sure to watch the video:

"In a still photograph you basically have two variables, where you stand and when you press the shutter. That’s all you have."
