“Photographing the Apparently Disordered”
Photograph by John Diamond, M.D.
We can photograph the “ordered woods and gardens”[1] – as most do. I much prefer the apparently disordered – the rust, the “junk.” And, hopefully, through it the Higher Order.
That’s what I mean by photographing beyond the obvious. The more ordered it seems, the less we feel motivated, impelled, to go Beyond.
It’s the difference between beauty and Beauty.
[1] Dorothea Mackellar, “My Country.”
