Some of the struggles [Hollis] Frampton talks about in [nostalgia] are uncomfortably familiar to me from the days when I was just starting out. For instance, having an idea for a picture, but eventually feeling a kind of inertia about the whole thing, and after some time and effort, chalking it up to failure. …
I take far fewer pictures now, but it can still happen that I’ll get that sense of heightened absorption and suspended time that comes with the first idea and the notion of a latent image.
