After all the trash I talked on during my previous post, it is important to know that I did take a conventional portrait on the same roll.

For the last little while, I've been into this type of picture. A lot of people think a "good" portrait dictates you can see the person's face. However, phototgraphers give little thought to what happens to the moments in between "decisive". I think the world has enough of the same photos and "good" is someone else's definition when it comes to photographs. Like Araki, I feel photographs often have the purpose of a visual diary. This moment happened in my life, even if I pushed the shutter at the "wrong" time. It feels good to be wrong sometimes.
