Shooting to Kill
So to Speak:

Walker Evans
(found poem)

I do regard photography
as an extremely difficult act
I believe the achievement of a work
that is is evocative and mysterious
and at the same time
realistic is a great one and rare one
and perhaps sometimes
almost an accident.
It’s akin to hunting,
photography is, in the same way
you’re using a machine
you’re actually shooting something
and you’re shooting to kill
you get the picture you want
that’s a kill

that’s a bullseye
