ICM - Catching My Peripheral Vision

There are many ways to interpret what we see when we take photographs. Even literal photography offers many choices and perspectives.This book is mostly about ICM, intentional camera movement. That is the process of moving your camera during a long exposure resulting in an intentional controlled blur photograph. This is a revised edition and has most of the material found in the original book along with some new work and techniques added.

I hunt photographs in my peripheral vision - we all do. What catches our eye is first observed in blur. We constantly observe liminal time - that space between then and now. My goal was to learn how to capture it.

There will be trial and error - lot's of errors. Those become our lessons as we learn what happens when we try different techniques. Every shot we take is a lesson. Digital cameras make it easy to try ideas and discard what doesn't work. Art is an original creation with the intention of sparking an emotion or response in the viewer. Creativity is the skill of pooling together different elements to find your vision. It takes persistence and imagination.

The book will offer insight into moves and techniques. It will arm you with information that will get you started with the right mindset and right moves. It will partner with you as you take your own journey into this magical way of catching time.
