Up close and personal...(2)
Posted on 11:01pm Tuesday 9th March 2010
Not too many years ago, a photographer could wander the streets and parks engaged in a shared innocence with adults, children, household pets, pretty much anything that was out there. Newspaper photographers regularly went out in search of 'fillers,' pictures to fill spaces in the paper when news was light. So pictures of children riding their Christmas bikes, families enjoying a bit of summer sunshine, real pictures of real people enjoying a slice of real time, were the norm. Just try that nowadays.

I'm really interested in you. Yes, I am. I'm so interested, I've crossed over the road / changed the direction in which I was walking / ignored the people I was with before I saw you. I am so interested, with the way you look, the thing you are doing, the space you are doing it in, I'm going to walk right up to you, point this little black mechanical tool at you, study you for a few seconds, then capture your soul forever. Frightened? Offended? Perhaps, but hopefully you never really saw me.

Taking Risks--When, How, and If? by Bruce Sallan
Posted on 10:20pm Tuesday 2nd March 2010
We all take risks, but when are they too much, too dangerous? And, what sort of risks do we parents do that might not be wise to do given we’re parents? A tough question.

For many people Saturday afternoon means football, at some level or other. I count myself among this baying, bleating, disbelieving, all knowing, ref baiting horde only in as much as I've spent nearly forty years photographing the damned thing.

The Best Thing About Getting Older Is...by Bruce Sallan
Posted on 10:19pm Tuesday 23rd February 2010
So, is there anything good about getting older? An old friend and I had lunch and between forgetting where we were in the conversation, we discussed this topic. Maybe there is at least one good thing (about getting older)?

Posted on 9:30am Monday 22nd February 2010
Once upon a time all these sheep were trees... A favourite nonsense of mine that comments on passing time, transformations and certain irreversible facts of life. Change, as well as you know what, happens.
