>>4152681You don't need things to happen. You're thinking like some street photographer, decisive moment hack. God forbid you seek out a leica or leica-like camera and start abusing black and white. You see that was never good, it was just new at some point, and impressed a certain self-"othering" crowd, like a bunch of villagers seeing the first ever picture of a normal wolf in the woods, not an angry/scared mangy one or a scary drawing. In the case of ansel adams it's almost exactly like that. Now it's overdone.
The oldest and most timeless genre of photography is making things happen. You're a painter, but the paint is bigger, argues with you, and might walk out. That's also not the only kind of paint you can use. Don't worry about finding shots. Don't worry about every waking moment being polluted by the need to stop and try and take a picture. The decisive moment isn't real, it's just a CCTV pause, and kind of rude. It was the bokeh abuse of its day, a technology enabled gimmick. Fast exposures, moving stuff, no flash, woooow!
