The ability to capture a singular state of photons in a transient moment means frozen time to the human mind.
Photography captures a specific local thermodynamic state, same with quantum mechanics.
Time is description of thermodynamics, finite flow of all things.
Photography creates the illusion of overcoming finiteness.

Photography, like filmmaking, is working with light and shadow.
Filmmaking has additional dimension of time, which is flow of events,
observation or mise-en-scene of changing states.

SERIOUS TALK

Depth of field is ALWAYS a differential of information.
Information exists and unfolds in space.
Without space, no information, no relations.
Relation of information is composition.

NEITHER THE HIGHEST DEFINITION NOR THE CLEANEST IMAGE WILL BE TRUTHFUL TO THE ESSENCE OF LIFE.
TRANSCENDENT SPACE REMAINS IN THE NOISE, THE GRAIN AND IN THE UNSHARPNESS, THE BOKEH.
BOKEH MEANS REDUCTION OF INFORMATION AND THEREFORE SPACE FOR THE VIEWER
TO PUT HER OR HIS OWN PROJECTION INTO THAT SPACE.
SAME WITH GRAIN AND MOTION BLUR.

Harmonic Bokeh is a consistent, smooth space for viewer's projection.
Perception and projection are fluent feedback processes of the human mind, thermodynamic interaction.
OVERALL SHARP AND CLEAN IMAGES LEAVE NO SPACE FOR Transcendence.
That's why I love to shoot wide open with very fast lenses.

Craft (and reliable technological equipment) is essential but always inferior to what you capture when documenting life.
In photography, in filmmaking.
Craft means completion of instinct.
One thing is nothing without the other.
