Jared “Fro knows Photos” Polin was right
Listening to Jared, I recognised for perhaps the first time, how possibly I’d missed opportunities in the past. I resolved to be more like my American cousins. More direct.
One week later, I was covering a fortnightly 10-mile cycling time-trial race at the iconic Goodwood Motor Circuit. Another glorious, midweek summer evening. Hopefully I’d get some nice shots for the riders. The organiser, in passing, nonchalantly informed me “You’ll get some good shots tonight, Sarah Storey’s here.”
Sarah Storey? Who’s she? Obviously he couldn’t possibly mean Dame Sarah Storey, Britain’s most successful Paralympian of all time.
The store is open
How sharing an image online has vast reach but a very short shelf life coupled with a tiny amount of time spent appreciating it. A physical print hung on a wall is the inverse. No mass reach but thanks to the advanced, gallery-quality inks now available, a shelf life of 200 years.
Why you should escape the digital world
I rushed the first print to my wife. It hits different than texting someone a photo.
