“There is less socially engaged photography in the UK now: first, because of the difficulty in actually doing it; secondly because people don’t seem to want to engage. They like this idea of being an elitist artist, working in a studio, and not particularly connecting with the world. You know, for me the fundamental thing about photography – why I’m a photographer – is because I’m a nosey person. And when I go somewhere, I want to find out about it. And you do that by going there and talking to people.” (…)
Metamorphosis, or Turning Back Time
Tumblr is pretty cool. You can change names and URL’s and not lose followers. When I first started this ‘stream/scrapbook’ I named it ‘Photographs on the Brain.’ And then because someone talked to me about branding I switched it to ‘lapuravidagallery’ to better reflect a bunch of shit I don’t care about any longer.
So now, I’m doing the moonwalk back into time and giving this ‘stream/scrapbook’ the name the universe first appointed it with: ‘Photographs on the Brain’
I hope you all stick around, and aren’t startled by the name branding adjustment.

“It almost feel that there is a very real resurgence for film. A lot of people that were completely digital are now accepting film again for certain things – or they do like the workflow. And the most exciting thing is to see the younger people adopt film. It’s almost a generational thing. They have not shot film growing up, but once they do get a hold of film in a university, they just seem to fall in love with it. And that’s exciting. It just seems to have a lot of influence.”
