What’s in a picture?

A picture’s worth a thou­sand words. Behind gifted eyes, is a vision, a gen­tle whis­per from the heart, an artist’s soul. Like the deaf­en­ing silence in a vibrant dream,

…every pic­ture tells a story with a dif­fer­ent point of view.

David Burnett is a man with a dif­fer­ent point of view.

He frames his shots care­fully, and chooses his equip­ments wisely. He still shoots film most of the time, and his sig­na­ture shots — shal­low depth-of-field, clever use of selec­tive focus like that from a tilt-shift lens — have graced count­less pub­li­ca­tions around the world. (It may be eas­ier to name the lesser few), and on a rare occa­sion, he have spo­ken with the PhotoShelter guys on a 22-minute long video con­ver­sa­tion, and a care­fully cho­sen list of equip­ments.
