Photographer as Egotist
…for some reason I feel compelled to share with other people what I see in the world, what I observe in the world, because I guess I operate under the illusion, or possibly delusion, that other people might be interested in seeing through my eyes. It’s rather egotistical point of view, but it is in essence the point of view of a photographer who believes that for some reason they have the ability to see the world in a way that others don’t, in a way that will be valuable to other people who don’t see the world that they do.
