Lately, out and about shooting with my Pentax, I have been thinking about the photograph as a semi-finished product. You take a photograph of a location because it is a cool location, you see something in it. But there are often elements missing. With such a photograph as starting point you could stage something that makes the image more compelling, or you paint the photograph to legitimize it (investing more, small changes that make it more your own work maybe).
Leave your thoughts below.
