How to Not Take the Perfect Photograph
Photography is oversaturated with perfection. How much money is spent chasing pixels, poured endlessly into new and better lenses? How many hours are spent chasing that single shot, those laborious hours poured into the night, all those lights and diffusions set up for the dream of a perfect picture? The industry is bombarded with the unattainable, self-destructive ideal of perfection—cast your sight across the ceaseless hordes of online photoshop tutorials and you will find nothing but technical instruction, soulless in nature and robotic in their repetition. Where is that final layer? How long must you edit, before the ideal image emerges from the chaff, sloughing off the imperfect versions of its former selves? You could chase that fantasy into the edges of twilight and never find more than a single whisper of it.
