It’s interesting that a man behind a movie camera is a ‘camera man’ while a man behind a still camera is a ‘photographer’.
As photographers or camera men (the non gender version of the word) we don’t get photographed very often. Still I find myself drawn to capturing their images like some mirror of myself.
I often photograph photographers but rarely is there that confluence of themes, moody sky, Canon lens, Sony camera, Ace tripod and a wild looking camera man from who know where, all coming together in a single captured moment which depicts something special.
I tried o track down that wild looking protagonist . I tried to put a name to that face. Perhaps one day I will but until then I will simply call him ‘Camera Man’.
