Some beautiful new work from Janyon
The photographer whom I assisted for in the mid '90's was a strong mentoring influence, and he would tell me that if you are to become a proper photographer, then that's all you should be interested in. Absolute commitment. No dabbling in music, sports or any other pointless hobbies. Eat, sleep, drink The Medium of Photography. 24/7.
It seems extreme, but it rings true. In my career I have noticed that distractions can detract from this path we have chosen to tread, The counter argument is that great work on a subject happens when the photographer has an interest in that subject. Examples abound.
It has to be a character trait of the profession to be interested in many things, and by virtue, remain interesting, but I'm just justifying that I have another interest in my life… Its no secret I'm fond of the old pushie and I have been taking a camera along on the mountain bike. I pressure myself to do justice to the atmosphere of being out on the fresh trail in the early morning, rather than attempt to emulate the brilliant action work that has been produced by those that specialize in this sort of stuff. For me its not just a bit of weekend fun, but an amalgamation of my passions.
