ST Patrick - Wynyard Sydney 2009

Everything comes from an idea. Everyone has his/her own unique idea. There will be no exactly similar idea between one another. If there are a hundred of people at the same place, then, there will be a hundred of ideas in that place. In photography, I think, idea is a starting point – the beginning of a photograph. Idea is the main thing photographers should obtain. What distinguishes those ideas, then, is its quality and quantity. Quality of ideas means uniqueness, originality and capability of grabbing one’s interest. The last thing mentioned is very relative, depending on what purpose we shoot. Whereas, quantity is more about how much ideas we have; there are many lack-of-ideas photographers though there are also some brilliant ones.
