On The Street, Taipei... Chen

Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music
- Marcel Marceau



I seem to be thinking a lot about this question recently: what do you look for? Because I've never felt like I've been able to answer that exactly. I know that I like lines and shapes and forms, but that still really doesn't say anything. Then sometimes I think I know what I'm not looking for, only to then find that very thing and realise that it works somehow. It's very hard to define, definitively.

In fact, the only way I can describe it is to describe the result - I'm looking for a photograph that makes me feel very silent and still, and solid too. Which is really just saying that I'm looking to take a photograph that makes me feel very complete, like nothing else is required, nothing else needs to be done. It still doesn't answer the question, does it? Maybe it's a question that should never be answered, because the whole point is to keep on looking.
