About juggling thoughts, sights and frames

Dissonance

Art is to evoke emotion, art is also a choice. Photography is art, and photography is a choice of a frame.

As far as landscapes go, I feel the most dissonance around fjords, how is it that the ocean and snow packed vertical cliffs are visible in the same frame (around Trollfjord, Lofoten, Norway)
And how about: A moment of warmth on a beach . . . in the frozen Arctic Fjords (Ramberg Beach, Lofoten, Norway)

As I walk around with the camera, I look at everything around me as a thief. I am looking for something precious to capture, to steal. And as I keep scanning frames, I also keep scanning juggling through these choices, and hence, also the emotions that these potential frames evoke.

A life (or lives), somewhere in Bombay (Chor Bazaar, South Bombay)

It doesn’t even have to be what sells. It’s about what emotion is in that moment. It’s very personal. A frame could show a dead dog, and the same frame could also have a pack of happy huskies.

And a reincarnation process right next to that one.

As the frame thief, I am left with a feeling and sense of both or all, maybe in rapid succession, but often at the same time, the same frame, in the same choice.
