I think you can divide photographers into hunters and fishers. I’m a fisher. I follow the light until I find a location I like. I frame the shot, always with a fixed lens—I zoom with my feet, a few steps forwards or backwards, that’s all—then I wait. Sometimes it takes half an hour, sometimes more. It’s like fishing, you give it whatever time it needs for something to happen.
I’m on the lookout for the coincidental, the circumstantial, the kind of micro-event that only ever happens once: a dachshund on a red leash, or a man on a bike with his hair blowing in the wind. It’s like fishing. Sometimes you get a bite, sometimes you don’t, but it’s being in that moment that counts. Time unfolds unstoppably in front of you, but there’s always the hope that once in a while you’ll be able to freeze it.
