What is photography?
I do not expect any technical answer to this question. I consider photography impossible to be limited to simple notion you can find in Britannica. Its meaning exceeds an encyclopedic entry. Of course, technical answers are simple and quite pithy in most occasions but I am not satisfied with them; they are not complete. At least, not for me and the people who keep on searching. The primary, ordinary reason I can give is that I do not like defeats (who does?). I prefer to search without conclusion, than to find disappointment.
And this, the search, is how I understand photography. Any type of it. Unanswered questions for sense of our being here and now, and doing thing we do can find their conclusion in photography. On the other hand…
I do not expect that someone will give me an answer. We are all looking for something unnamed, distant, unknown. We are living our lives wandering from one doubt and another. Where is the sense of it? For me, the sense consists in trying to understand the paths, not the goals. Therefore, I do not expect the answers. I request questions to confront with.
The question must persist so that the photography make sense.
What is photography, then, you may ask. Do not ask me: I do not know.
