BACK CHAT

摘要

DURING a recent 'Roger Hicks moment', I got to thinking about a new photographic category: documenting photography. This involves recording various aspects of life at a given time without necessarily any emotional involvement with the object being photographed. It's photography for the sake of it, merely to record what's there. It can be personal, or of a more general interest. For example, as I look back on my collection of personal prints, I realise what's missing. I remember some of the toys I used to have, my first guitar and my pedal-cycle motorbike, but where are the pictures of them? Perhaps I was too young to record what was there, but the adults could have done it.
