and at a 1/2 to 1/8,000th of second
at f:.95 - f:64
in or out of focus
with camera and/or subject moving
on whatever sized sensor or film format
a very thinly sliced bit at best.

a fragmentary representation
a portrayal
an interpretation
(never the original experience)
a 2 dimensional rectangle
sliced out of infinite three dimensional space
a fraction of a second
clipped from the eternal time dimension
displayed on a screen
or piece of paper

as documentation
as art
as advertisement
as portrait
as visual poem
as whatever

Weston must have lied to me
about the sensuality of peppers
by manipulating the light,
setting his peppers in a funnel,
and processing his negatives in some magical way;
because I've never found any peppers
as voluptuous as those
in his photographs.
shame on him!
