C-Ville: Features - Sylvia Plachy describes the photographer's art of imposing on her subjects


Steve Korn and I were discussing the difference between making and taking and this article came to mind.
C-Ville: Features - Sylvia Plachy describes the photographer's art of imposing on her subjects:

"Right. So that’s what this show is about. (Laughter) About how much photography is about waiting, and how much our lives are about waiting for the moment, or anything. You have to wait and wait and wait until something happens. And it is also, in a way, pushing yourself into the present, or pushing yourself into the texture of the room that you’re in, to understand the ghosts that speak to you from within. And that’s what I’m looking for."
