Impression/Expression

From the Heart:

I am hired professionally to use my camera and my head to solve problems, communicate ideas, illustrate things and concepts, etc. I can usually do that pretty well; but after all the tracks are in their boxes, so to speak, I often feel freed up to then shoot with an open heart loosely within the parameters of the job, but without the concern for how well a shot pertains to the assignment. Most often those shots that come from the heart get chosen by the client, even though they may be less pertinent to the stated job parameters and requirements. This has been a lesson to me that the work I shoot without so much thought but with more feeling is my better work. So I value the intellectual exercise less than the romantic expression in photography. This shot of a non-descript little old car on a street in Havana at night, a time capsule, is an example of a wordless impression/expression of mine. This was shot with a Sony RX-100 IV pocket camera, albeit a high-end pocket camera, at the end of a full day of seeing and shooting from the heart.
