American Photo Mag Interviews Ed Templeton

This interview from American Photo Mag of Ed Templeton is brilliant. I love the idea behind Ed’s new photobook collection “Wayward Cognitions”. This was my favorite photo / question / answer.

“It sounds like you are doing a lot of composition in your head. Is that correct?

For sure, if you were watching me from above you would see my path take a weird erratic turn. I see somebody and then I have to make a decision real quick: Is it a full body shot? Do I have to get close? A lot of my focusing is guesstimation. I see someone so I focus my camera accordingly and then I put my camera in that position to make my focusing correct. I don’t shoot from the hip or anything. I look through and compose in that split second, I’m walking by and I kind of slap the camera up to my eye make that millisecond composition and then shoot. Sometimes you fail of course, but I’m more and more surprised by how good I am at getting everything in there, getting what I wanted in there and getting the exposure right.” – American Photo Mag

Go to American Photo Mag and read the rest of this interview by Jeanette D. Moses of Ed Templeton. I promise you’ll get inspired.

Ed Templeton // Epicly Later’d Part 1 – 6






Movie time Thursday! I’ve been waiting for Part 6 to post so I could share the entire series with you goons.

I haven’t always understood Ed’s art. Some projects I’ve really LOVED whereas others have been offensive (to me). So where does that leave me… It leaves me holding onto the standard of the Ride x Create vibe Kyle and I live by. Push your limits. Make cool shit happen. Sometimes that means doing something you feel is right when everyone else will damn you for it.

imageI always love Ed interviews. They’re insightful and inspiring. Goal this year… pick up a 35mm pocket point x shoot and start to develop film photography skills.

“I just want to show life in an unvarnished way.” – Ed

Go check out Ed’s interview by Will Morley as well as a few great photos. This is my favorite of the bunch.
