RealStill is loaded with what has vanished, but it has nothing to do with saving or preservation, particularly, redevelopment. The preservation ended at the capture by camera. Intent? My pictures are not there to illustrate preservation ideas or schemes. Another way of putting it, for instance, a mill complex falls, and RealStill’s pictures say – unless you’re going to refurbish the mill, build a new one or put a different manufacturing plant there, don’t look at my pictures. If the past is gone. So be it. RealStill is source work and never reinvention.
Probabilistically focused on predicting what’s normally not predictable, by its own definition, requires use on a daily routine. Pure reality, an uncontrolled environment, defined by randomness, chance and novelty, beginning with weather and geography, and ending with human interactions, is where my job is located. I work in time and place. Farmer, hunter, gambler, psychiatrist and meteorologist might be comparative professions.
Experiences built over time strengthens intuition, and the shot is realized by essential intuition and experience, above all else.
The Predictive Moment, which is not the moment of disappearance, implosion or demolition, but the moment of return, and, before looking, absolutely knowing that he, she or it is gone. It’s not too fun, though, in fact, it smarts, but the shooting pains, are diminished by virtue of having the shot as something now gone.
Photography does that anyways, but i do it on purporse.
Obviously, there are many reasons why the human mind is not objective, and one of those is, thank God, that the mind is inherently and naturally predictive. We don’t see moments like a camera but continuous movement of time and place. For many reasons like efficiency or survival predictive thinking is required in a living organism, but only the camera scissors the moment objectively true much larger degree than the human eye connected to the human mind. By utilizing this phenomenon we can direct the camera to be placed at the moment before during or after the disappearance.
if you predict a disappearance through photography, is that telling the truth? The moment occurs, not at capture, but when history plays out and the object disappears.
After proving this sense for disappearance repeatedly, often, people will not allow me to do their picture, since they fear disappearing.
