Stuart rambles on about photography in all its 21st century manifestations and forms. This includes his passions such as black and white analogue photography. Other interests include his cameras, from his humble phone camera up to his 5x4 monorail. He prattles on about printing in his darkroom and let's not forget his many digital photo projects. Other interests include photo book publishing. Finally as a bit of a geek he ruminates on iPhone apps software and the Internet in general, as well.

David Campany Quote

I recently gained access to RMIT’s library, as an alumni. This has many advantages for me. I suspect I will spend a few hours in the space over the upcoming summer holidays. I can also preview books that I am considering buying. One such book is an exhibition catalogue that MOMA published recently to accompany a retrospective of Stephen Shore’s work. It contains several essays by numerous authors. David Campany is one. Mr. Campany writes a short piece about individual images in this book. I found this quote this morning and see it as quite pertinent.

“There is always a tension between the photograph as artwork and document; between choice and automatism; between intention and chance; between system and intuition; between individual image and its place in a body of work; and between what can be known consciously and what can only be felt unconsciously.”
Pg 126 Stephen Shore, MOMA
