Found and not yet found

In writing, people talk about voice. In photography, maybe it’s vision, but voice works just as well, because they both get at the point: what you have that no one else does. I think about this a lot, both in terms of writing and photography.

Recently, I decided to start adding labels to my blog posts, and so I went back through my blog, from the beginning to the present, and I copyedited it and labeled it, and in the process, I saw that somewhere along the way I had found my writing voice. I had become myself. I haven’t done that yet with photography. (Maybe I should get back to photographic sluttery—it’s only through the repetition that it happens, that a voice, a vision, emerges.)

If you’re in that same position, if you ever wonder what you bring to the table, how you’ll ever stand out from the crowd by finding your own way, check out S.’s post today. Definitely worth a read.
