]]> Comment on The Moment of Transition by Paul Indigo http://wmgphotoblog.com/2007/11/09/the-moment-of-transition/#comment-4 Paul Indigo Fri, 09 Nov 2007 18:06:42 +0000 http://wmgphotoblog.com/2007/11/09/the-moment-of-transition/#comment-4 Hi Bill, I think you have captured something special here, comparable to the state of transition ascribed to Diane Arbus' images. There is nothing to be gained by imitation of another photographer and I am glad to say that I feel this image comes from deep within you and that you've found the comparison to Diane Arbous a useful echo of your own vision. The background is neutral providing the perfect foil for the subject. I like the way the dog appears about to wrestle free and jump from her arms. Thanks for sharing this image of for the invitation to view it. All the best, Paul Hi Bill, I think you have captured something special here, comparable to the state of transition ascribed to Diane Arbus’ images.

The fascinating thing about photography is that one moment in time, the moment in life that is etched upon the grain of the film frozen as a display of the photographer's observation - stealing it and sealing onto the emulsion onto the paper. Look, Look at what I have captured, my sight through the view finder - that moment - now here to share (or Not) of the "world slipping away".
