Last week I had an amazing opportunity to meet Keith Carter. I have been studying a lot of his work and he is definitely one of my favorite photographers as of late. Some of us lucky BFA students got to attend a dinner with him before his lecture at BYU. After he dished up his food, he sat right next to me. Delightful is word I would choose to describe him; it was great to listen to his stories and hear more about his methods.
During his lecture he said, " The full weight and mystery of art rests upon your relationship to your subject matter". This has been on my mind since- helping me think more about my choice of subject matter- but most importantly, why.
WHY
It has come up so much lately and I'm finally facing the word with more certainty. Speaking on the opposite of certainty, Keith also said to make friends with uncertainty. I love that thought.
Thank Keith. It was great to meet you.
