sometimes my camera goes on vacation without me. that’s my only explanation. and sometimes it is on vacation when im photographing something else.
I know it sounds like it makes no sense but it’s all I’ve got.
I recently excavated some photographs I had on my computer. they were made about a year ago when I was driving around photographing random stuff. well, some of the photographs I made were there in my files but others taken in a sequence of the same site [bracketing] well they were of other places entirely. before that I was photographing at the island of dreams and the same thing happened, film, paper, DV everything.
years ago I photographed this massive tree in front of a strip mall with an 8×10 camera. well, the tree in my photograph had no trunk just leaves. before that gear that I put back on shelf or in camera bag went missing. searched everywhere for it, after a year it just appeared as if it was there the whole time. the camera had film in it I never bought and images on the film that were like a junk store find.
it seems kind of strange but I’ve grown accustom to it and look forward to the next time I am on a staycation and my camera goes on vacation.
