Something has to be different!




 Replication is not a new thing in photography as for variations over a basic theme but, at least, variations are a different exploration of the main subject opposed to simply an endless reproduction of the same formula. In many ways we are asking for stereotypes because we want to be reassured and comforted in our vision of this world and reassurance seems to be a (surviving) key word in this moving surrounding.

Differences are fundamentally provoking facts because they are questioning the establish order of our interpretation of this world. In photography and especially in the recent digital decades, we have definite a kind of esthetic algorithm that reproduce the ways on how we want to perceive our recorded imagery. But it is not about to be simply critical technically or not about the picture, it is about acceptation of its inner value in term of visual original expression. In one word, we don't accept any more differences even if we proclaim the opposite!


Without strong feelings and deep emotions, the art of photography is going nowhere except for its tapestry purpose which we can observe truly over the Web and the (social) media of these generations of (fanatic) adepts. Broking their rules and you are simply excluded or marginalized of this visual planet. Their way of thinking contradicts their artistic pretentiousness because they cannot accept to be generous outside their personal goals.

Accepting differences is not easy for many of us. It can be in highly insecure state of mind. If you intend to experiment something new, there is some chance that you won't be satisfied with the first results you will obtain. But that is leading you to try again and expand your exploration desire. That will push you to question your artistic and technical skills and go further and, at the end, will bring you to an higher level of emulation. Observing (and photographically recording) the world around us is opening our mind to different interpretations of this universe. It is a (very) complex environment which we can subtract elements or parts of it to better understand its nature. As they say, there is no real objectivity in our human curiosity but there is certainly a lot of differences that we have to respect!
