It has been a long time since I was aware of the fact that I am actually holding a device myself and the subject I am shooting. I think the device is called a camera or a digital capturing device. I can’t really recall. When that phenomena happened in my life is hard to define. I really am not aware of this device when I am in the process of capturing my image. In fact I often forget that I am actually holding anything in my hand. I become aware of this “appendage” when I think I have captured what I feel is “That Moment”. If I don’t feel I have captured the essence of the moment, the vehicle remains glued to my hand and remains the interpreter of the subject’s and my soul until “That Moment” happens.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it happened in the same way as when I realized that I don’t need a flash meter. I can feel the blast of light and based on the blast, I only have to choose from a very finite and small group of numbers to set on my device. I am usually on within a third of a stop. One day, I will just blink my eyes and the image will appear on a three dimensional projection in space. It will be transcribed to a crystal storage device that will be used to produce a hard copy, if need be. I guess after pressing the shutter a couple of million times in my 27 years of capturing images, it has become an extension of my idea.<\/p>\n
