Theory of photography by Ken Wheeler aka Theoria Apophasis aka Angry Photographer

A photograph has to include one or a combination of the following elements: emotional, story, vortex, funnel, symmetry, quirky, fantastical, mystery/sensual, touchable, shocking or gruesome, juxtaposition, impressionistic, commentarial, or newsworthy."

"Photographs are better when there is something left to the imagination." "The most beautiful thing on earth revealing everything about itself removes all the mystery" "Showing mystery means there is something left to be grasped or understood that you do not yet know" "you have to stop looking for pretty pictures, you need to look for greedy pictures and the shitty pictures" "The Greeks were able to understand negative intrigue - I'm able to understand as much from a lie as from the truth, because the lie is also a truth.”

Do you really think that the government which admitted (only when caught of course) spying on Angela Merkel will be honest with you and respect your right to privacy? Come on... wake up and smell the coffee.

Interesting stories about the jobs of a KGB agent in Soviet era.

The actual purpose of this interview was to impress onto the audience the narrative that the USA was under attack by an ubiquitous communist threat.

[wordsnquotes]

I want to know you. You seem like someone worth knowing. Every day I feel like I’m surrounded by people with hard edges and sour faces but I get the sense that you’re different. Too often people seem to think that they have the answers to everything. Their faces are trapped in permascowls and they can’t be bothered with anything besides their own narcissism. You aren’t like that. You still ask questions. You’re still looking for the answers.

Ryan O’Connell, I Want To Know You (via wordsnquotes)

I'm kind of tired of reading jealous little posts about Richardson, Teller etc etc. If they're so bad, and you're so good, how come they're really famous and successful, whilst I've never heard of you? These arguments always seem to come from the type of photographer who disguises tedious images with overproduction and fail to realise that content will always triumph over technique. When was the last time you looked at a photograph from the 1940s and critiqued the technique? No-one cares. The image is everything, the core being the subject, and those that last & impress depict interesting things. That is why everyone wants to look at Richardson's schlong & Tellers girls, and not at your time lapse traffic photos or whatever the hell you do. I love the democracy of cheap cameras. They separate the wheat from the chaff. If you can take a great photo with a shit camera, you're OK by me. If you can take an OK photo with an expensive camera, forty lights, make-up, a stylist, a studio, umbrellas and re-touching, i couldn't give less of a shit.

Pourtant la violence existe au Japon. Celle que je connais bien se joue dans les écoles et les collèges. Ce sont les fameux phénomènes d’Ijime, de souffre-douleurs, qui explosent durant la seconde année de collège (14 ans). Ce sont des Japonais qui font souffrir d’autres enfants japonais, qui les battent, leurs font subir diverses sévices, les rackettent souvent. La vie est un enfer pour celui qui en est victime.  Cette violence, qui est un phénomène social de premier plan met bien en relief les frustrations des jeunes Japonais . Pas besoin d’aller en chercher la cause chez des immigrés mal intégrés qui menaceraient et défieraient l’ensemble de l’édifice social.  Les causes de cette violence sont peut-être à chercher ailleurs chez une jeunesse totalement japonaise, qui comprend au moment de la puberté, de l’adolescence et de l’orientation scolaire, que les enjeux sociaux sont déjà joués… ou presque, et qu’il est vain de penser à une seconde chance. La puberté et le système scolaire orienté vers le classement et la compétition sont un mélange explosif qui n’est pas lié à l’immigration.
