#84 THAT CAMERA CHANGED MY LIFE
The American photojournalist Vincent Laforet, celebrated for his work on such stories as the aftermath of 9-11 and his life now as a director, talked last week about his photographic upbringing; a very distinct, precise, technically correct education that has made him the creator he is today.
This week, meet Vincent the grafter.
There are moments in your life, where you make decisions that change just about everything; those sliding door moments.
If Vincent hadn’t seen the white boxed package that held a particular brand and model of camera, if he hadn’t then essentially begged for an opportunity, if he hadn’t proposed an audacious plan quite so passionately, perhaps he wouldn’t have changed direction quite so radically? Or maybe at all?
That’s the power of a door that slides or perhaps it’s more about grasping and grafting at those moments that you see as pivotal. Also today a tale about the very essence of storytelling, why what we have is so precious.
It’s labo(u)r day in many parts of the world including Canada. And of course our good friends at imagesalon.com herald from this country, though they work with photographers around the world, to keep us shooting, whilst they take the strain on the retouching front. Eight hours of work, eight hours of recreation and eight hours of rest was the original ethos behind the labour day ideal.
