We don't do holidays , but were invited by my Chinese wife's sisters to meet up in home town Ipoh.
It did not work out well for photographs as we were dependant upon others to drive us around .
When invited by the sisters to follow then into town , it was still keep up .
I used the Panasonic L1 , Olympus 14-42 to shoot buildings , lorries , buses , mopeds from the car plus the new X=Pro1 27mm [ nom 41 ] for street , market and restaurant shots .
I could hold it guess framing at low level and above my head - dee's cretely returning it into my handbag .
On viewing the results on return , I was initially dee's appointed by the inconsistency of the snap shots ... no change there then ...
ASD is weird - some stuff is lost , but early experiences seem more imprinted as our visit in 1974 all came back to me like yesterday .
The photos captured this atmosphere in a way the perfect , non blurred shots would not ... it was MY ASD coloured / awkward experience with all the glitches .from schooldays , I am ever concerned about not keeping up with others ... I thought that everyone was a s out of phase as I am .
I began revisiting other 'stories' through my snapshots which exhibited the same inconsistencies , but that atmosphere and separation from people and 'reality' was all too clear .
The emotions they conjured up perfect for my fragmented memory where ' now/before/pretend pictures ' have equal prominence messing with context and continuity .
There are some who have said that if a person continues to fail at something , then they should give up .
I will continue to forget settings , the photos will not always be straight or perfectly focused because I am too quick and unbalanced with glitches hand/eye coordination , but I can't go out without the comfort of a camera , or hiding behind it .
However , by getting away from 'the norm' I seem to have shed the anxiety about not keeping up with real people and will continue to create my fragmented stories with cameras old and new ... although the 'new' X-Pro 1 , is probably the last toy I will afford !!
I shall also enjoy my many cameras collected when I was going through the trauma of recognising and encompassing those glitches plus the growing collection of digitals .
Cameras as therapy ? Believe it !!
It sounds crazy , but it's such a relief to accept how it is .
Thanks for being here
