Sunday Edition: Michael Eastman

PHOTOSNACK #456

Every Sunday, I contact photographers previously featured on PHOTOSNACK and ask them to send me their spontaneous thoughts, observations, reflections, or advice.

Today, I am sharing the message I received from Michael Eastman.

I never stop taking pictures. I do not need a camera.

I shut one eye and move from left to right and up and down in very small increments. Every move changes the relationships. Everything is considered in relation to everything else.

And when it is right, I feel a kind of peace.

For me, composing is a form of meditation. I am drawn to places that have a sense of human presence and of history. I look for where people seem to have just left or are about to enter. Human presence with no one in the frame.

I believe my best photographs tell stories.

It has taken me over fifty years and thousands of photographs to know where it is best for me to put my camera.

Sunday Editions connect you with photographers whose work you previously explored through PHOTOSNACK.

I want to reveal some authentic parts of the people behind the cameras.

I don't ask them any specific questions. I ask them to share whatever comes to mind when they think about YOU, the newsletter readers.

It makes their responses genuine and personal.

I hope you enjoyed today's Sunday Edition.

Until next time,
Tomasz
