Compartimentalisation is a psychological necessity to suspend your emotional response and move into a purely functional state. otherwise, you break down and weep. How much of this \u201csuspended state\u201d is the normal way of how photography works? Daido Moriyama calls it his \u201cHunter\u201d-instincts, and Stephen Shore escapes into a cold, scientific mode and calls it \u201cSolving Pictures\u201d. When Nakahira says \u201cPhotography needs to stop being art. It needs to stop expressing feelings. When it is completely a record, it can be something\u201d, he actually means \u201cI have to stop feeling\u201d, he wants to turn himself into a photographic machine: and ends up burning all his negatives and drinks himself into a coma… The \u201cTetsuo\u201d, the \u201cIron Man\u201d is a very Japanese\/photographic way of operating…<\/p>\n
And the other way becomes difficult: the issues of representation, the consciousness about the social contract of photography – all that baggage of being a sentient, social human being can bring photography to a grinding halt and freezes your finger over the shutter. Is it necessary to become a photographic monster (like Diane Arbus most certainly was…) to get anything done at all?!<\/p>\n
