my shoes are wet

lyrics

[excerpt from an interview with duane michals for contacts vol. 2]

a failed attempt to photograph reality.
how foolish of me to have believed that it would be that easy.
I had confused the appearances of trees and automobiles and people with reality itself, and believed a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it.

it is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail.
I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection.
to photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

...my version of reality considers my entire experience;
it's not just observable facts that I find on the street, but it's my emotional life, my fears, my dreams, and all of these things are much more real to me than any stranger's face I might photograph.

we spend our entire lives looking into mirrors believing the illusions reflected there and comforted by the reality of appearances.
unfortunately people are seldom what they appear to be, and what is seen is what we expect to see
