Tim Simmons
Ok, photographers, you win. I officially retire my camera and give up on any image capturing I might try to do in the future. My kid’s milestones will go unrecorded; my wedding won’t be documented by me; and whenever I see a sunset I won’t reach for a camera to try and capture that magical moment. Tim Simmons is the one to blame or celebrate, depending on your opinion of any pictures I’ve taken. The man can do things with a photograph that literally make my mind spin, as in a full 360 degree rotation in my skull. He shoots the world in a manner that makes it seem so alien and new, and that, for me anyway, is the ultimate photographic skill. I certainly have never been able to master it, or even beginner it, but here is Tim Simmons doing it better than anyone ever like he was just taking a walk in the park. You know what? It’s ok. I didn’t want to lug around my camera and extra lenses and whatnot to all my kid’s school events, or my friend’s parties, or anywhere for that matter. I just wish I had smoked less pot in the past so I could remember these things without having to photograph them.
