“To harp on a theme: it’s all about placing yourself and your machine in various relationships to the world in order to get at relationships between your self and the world.”
Tim Carpenter, To Photograph Is to Learn How to Die: An Essay with Digressions

“This divining is a wondrous thing. Because it does not stop, we must now take it a step further: just as the thoughtful viewing of a photograph can help us to understand its maker, the conscientious making of photographs can help one know - and even to create - one’s self.”
Tim Carpenter, To Photograph Is to Learn How to Die: An Essay with Digressions

“The photographic enterprise of experimenting with and exploiting all these variables [camera, film, image format, lenses, etc] as a way of creating imaginative correspondences is really just a specialized or concentrated version of the way in which all people know the world in moment-to-moment experience.”
Tim Carpenter, To Photograph Is to Learn How to Die: An Essay with Digressions

“Choices of aspect ratio or lens coverage or film type are not just things that impact how your prints look on the wall or in a book. They are the very structure of your mind when it meets the world with a camera.”
Tim Carpenter, To Photograph Is to Learn How to Die: An Essay with Digressions

“Similarly, we are thinking with and through the camera. This gets back to something I mentioned earlier: real in-the-moment thinking (and not the illustration of previous thoughts) happens when the impetus to the picture and the picture itself are one and the same. It’s not about what the photographer knows, but what she can make.”
