Embracing Fragmentation in Photography

July 29, 2024

In this episode, I delve into the impacts of fragmentation in our photography, emphasizing its unique ability to fragment the world in various ways. Starting off with some great quotes from Jasper Johns and Ursula K. Le Guin about fragments of knowledge and then digging into how photography mirrors the fragmented nature of how we frame, see and compose.


Over the course of the podcast, I disuss the challenges of managing these fragments in how we use time, spaces, and ideas to create our own personal images.



Intention involves such a small fragment of our conciseness and of our mind and of our life.


-Jasper Johns



“All knowledge is partial, infinitesimally partial. Reason is a net thrown out into an ocean. What truth it brings in is a fragment, a glimpse, a scintillation of the whole truth.”


– Ursula K. Le Guin
