This was my very personal way to step away from the traditional documentary photography methods, which I find very frustrating and hypocritical. There?s a part of cowardice in the usual position of documentary photography in between voyeurism and safety. This is where exploitation lies. The last few years, I have been experimenting with new working methods, slowly abandoning the position behind the camera to enter the image itself, as a character within my own images. That?s the only legitimate position." entire interview <http://www.viceland.com/int/v17n11/htdocs/fear-desire-drugs-fucking-608.php?page=1> Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
