"I imagine (this is all I can do, since I am not a photographer) that the essential gesture of the Operator is to surprise something or someone (through the little hole of the camera), and that this gesture is therefore perfect when it is performed unbeknownst to the subject being photographed".
Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida
The singing butler
Photographed on Morecambe Bay sands, inspired by the painting by Jack Vettriano.
