Response to the theory of accidental excellence: a discussion, not an image.

from Jeff Spirer (jeff@spirer.com)
I'm not sure how I feel about serendipity. Of course, there is always being in the right place at the right time, and sometimes that is serendipity. But I think that what may seem to be luck comes from things inside that aren't easy to describe.

What I find for myself is that I often shoot in an almost unconscious state. I work best when my mind vaporizes. I suppose this could be considered the ultimate in serendipity, but to me it's just some sort of direct connection to the subconscious. Or something.

That photo I posted in the fashion thread I started, I can't remember taking it. I don't know where, I can only place when because of the roll of film. Seems like I have a fair amount of stuff like that...
