uncontrol - control

i have found that the dichotomy of still life studio photography contrasts nicely with venturing into the world to pull from what is there.  in the studio there is nothing until you actively make something while there is always something out in the world regardless if it is controlled or uncontrolled.  like many photographers i believe that i try to impose order.  the implications of this imposition suddenly become intriguing when you realize the high level of order that we see in so many photographs. maybe the visual world is not as chaotic as we are to believe or assume it is.  in trying to push forth and establish a vocabulary of style it is critical to consider both order and chaos and begin to make some deliberate choice over one or the other. . . .or not.
