invited guest: Edward Yanowitz
On my visual odyssey, I photograph to remember the moments I’ve seen that had some special significance to me. Sometimes the serendipity of life presents you with a private scene, something special for your eyes to see. The photograph verifies to me that … yes, I was there… yes, I did see that and it was not something I imagined. I get great enjoyment from looking at the intimate details of life, a wandering eye that is never satiated, always looking for something….. in the hope that I will be aware enough to recognize the significance of a moment, before it is lost in time.
Interpreting the parallel view of my eye and the camera, has helped me expand my visual observation and awareness, letting me convert the things I’ve seen into symbols of sight. I photograph the simultaneous realities that coexist within my line of sight, the intersection of light and time, people and the space around them. From my perspective, life itself is the canvas and I am just a framer of its singular moments. - Edward Yanowitz
