not sure about you but sometimes I am in the zone. I have a camera or some sort of photo paper and I’m just making something. my mind wanders, I forget where I am, I become untethered and float away,
standing on the sidewalk setting up a camera to stay open for 12 or 6 minutes, driving around finding light to record, discovering something you never noticed and it was just under your nose.
you let your senses take over and allow yourself to become oblivious to the world around you.
someone starts up a conversation with you and brings you back to reality and they ask you what you are doing and you tell them “see that, im making a photograph of it but instead of a snapshot I have to wait 11 more minutes”. they look at you like you are nuts. Two cruisers show up and ask what you are doing because they got a call about somebody with a birdhouse standing on the sidewalk … you say the same thing but this time you can remove the paper negative and show it to the police.
it can be dangerous being in the zone
