Shooting a picture turns somebody into a photographer as slicing a salami turns him or her into a butcher, or taking a shower paves the way for competitive swimming. Art is just a word one polishes a craft with, and to master the craft of taking photographs you have to understand what slice of an instant you need to capture light as you you would wish to have it remembered as it bounces, you have to know how wide and convex a glass in front you need to sketch and define margins, you have to know the sinking well of darkness as thoroughly as the nuclear grin of the giant shining star up above in order to best define signs and signals over ever running vanishing points, and once you possess this toolbox you need to inoculate it into oblivion in order to walk around and watch, walk around and watch as an animal would, your head an empty altar ready to accomodate the tumulus youll pay homage to remembrance with: the zero of the brain as well as the zero of the eye. Paolo Ippoliti on Red Desert Chronicles (Postcards from Ravenna) .
