I was reading The New York Times online a couple days ago and saw some photos by Zackary Canepari that were really good, so I googled him. I was smitten by his website, smitten with admiration and envy. He is doing what I would like to do and doing it well. I thought I would write him a fan's note and ask him if I could link him here.
You never know what people will think of such things, if they will find it common or brash or if they will be amused or even that they will appreciate the compliment. Zackary didn't take long in responding with a very nice email.
His photos are documentaries, but they are something else, too. You can go to his website or to his blog. You can't lose either way.
you must tell others
ReplyDeletewhen you find it ...
no matter where
you find it
to keep it a secret is wrong
even if it stings.
(that is something someone told me once when i was overcome with both envy and beauty in a poem i stumbled across one day -- i had these feelings like -- "why should I bother - look what this person is capable of -- i don't want anyone else to find it because it is so good" married with "omg look at this poem i must share it with the world")
probably told you that already.
thank you for sharing. i've had a beast of a few days
those photos
yeah.
amazing...thank you for sharing it. I've found admiration and envy tend to push me into trying harder, looking more, feeling more...
ReplyDeleteYou've passed along some good sites - this is just one more - thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will keep adding the good photographers I find. What else is there to do? And secretly, I am hoping that the talent will rub off, but if not, I will have shown a talent for recognizing talent. Picture one of those funny text message faces here.
