“I try not to make conscious decisions about what I am looking for. I don’t make elaborate preparation before I go to a location. Essentially I walk, explore, discover and photograph.“
~ Michael Kenna
When I still had a day job, when work was finished I would often quickly change, grab my camera and start walking. Now I don’t have to wait; I can get out when I please. Recently I do have a general idea in mind… I want to be surprised. And that means coming across things that don’t seem to belong together, that speak of transience, ooze mystery, make one laugh… like a single cloud in a blue sky hovering above a tree or a seagull perched atop a street lamp next to a ferris wheel. Such moments are gifts. But a walk without discoveries is a still a good walk!
