Vemodalen!

Vemodalen!

What a fantastic word!  

 

The frustration of photographing something amazing when thousands of identical photos already exist—the same sunset, the same waterfall, the same curve of a hip, the same closeup of an eye—which can turn a unique subject into something hollow and pulpy and cheap, like a mass-produced piece of furniture you happen to have assembled yourself.

This frustration must be felt by many photographers, professional and not so professional! But what seems most frustrating to me, is knowing I have taken that same photo that already exists!

So what can I do?

Take more photos!
