“It’s important to have your own visual signature, something that enables the viewer to instantly know that this is the work of a specific photographer. It’s not about style, it’s the way you put an image together. It’s our own personal way of perceiving our own individual reality.Photography is an unusually amorphous medium in that all you really are doing is releasing the shutter. However the structure of the medium rests within the intelligence of the eye.”~ Ralph Gibson I guess if you or I had been walking down a street in Paris in 1974 which perhaps we were, we would have seen many classic Citroen cars but I doubt we would have come up with an image as elegant as this one.That is because we are not great photographers in the way Ralph is. He for sure has a distinct visual style and the intelligence to go with it. I could stare at this image for hours and never lose interest.
