it’s a real barn burner.  chuck patch.  related.

From that interview:

The main thing about photography is that, as technologies go, it’s  easy and gets easier all the time. In the transaction between  intelligence and material expression, it goes a long way toward cutting  out the middleman. Anybody can take a good or even a great picture.  Finding a good image among the many you’ve taken is like having a big  juicy plum fall in your lap.
At the same time that it feels effortless, it comes with the  assurance that it’s something that came from inside you: no one saw this  one thing this one way and in that sense, it’s like a picture of your  mind at work.  Hopefully your mind is at work on something interesting.

Spending my morning coffee thinking about how little I have here to save from fire.
