Today, in one of my classes we had a speaker come in, Andrew Higley. He is a musician and photographer. He discussed some basic lighting tips for documenting work, then he started talking about his experience in DAAP to where he is now.
I really enjoyed hearing his story, because I could relate to it in many ways. I am concentrating in photography and often deal with the conceptual aspect of my work. I am a formal photographer. Photography gives me a new outlook. I don't take pictures for a huge underlying concept, but simply because I am indulged in the results of a camera and the experimentation I get with the technology of a camera.
Andrew described his experience in DAAP that sounded very similar to my experience above. Andrew is very successful and doesn't feel the urge to always showcase his work in gallery spaces. I agree. I don't see my work fitting in a gallery either. I am much more interested in the formal qualities photographs can offer.
