Ralph Gibson dropping knowledge bombs and a lifetime of wisdom so casually... Truly impressive.

In the early '70s as a student of photography I found Ralph Gibson and now in 2021, after a life of other means, am returning to photography and discovering him as he is today, again.

Thank you Team Leica, Ralph, and Bill. this is truly such an eye-opener for experienced photographers like me who are on the verge of understanding the expressions of a soul, and how photography can make the artist a Poet, and a philosopher. truly humbled and feeling enlightened. 🙏

I am most heartened from this piece. I learn from another’s information, yet, to me, the important and primary learning ensues from attending to another’s experience. Mr. Gibson’s experience bears learning from. Good job Bill. Thank you Kiran Karnani. I salute you each.

wonderful and invigorating discussion. An insight to Ralph's eye. I love your work, once lucky to see it all before me, at a gallery in Toronto. It was being prepared to ship back! The gallery staff brought it all back, placed on floor and no time limit to look, ponder, analyze, decipher and simply bathe in the images.. Thank You Ralph. Great questions!

I was so happy to hear the story about the eye acting somewhat independently from the brain. I came across this concept when watching an interview with some neuroscientists who described exactly what Mr Gibson is talking about here. Ever since then I have walked around feeling like my eyes are two mini brains that not only see, but pass judgment on what they have seen and only send the most interesting bits to my brain. We are all so lucky that Mr Gibson’s mini brains have such good taste.

Great video and Ralph nailed it with the iphone discussion, there ars a lot of variables in a good photo, and while there are some great photos taken with the iphone , they don't have the versatility of a camera with a lens but who knows what the future holds.

One of my first creative influences. I've always viewed Gibson's work as more surrealist in nature than strictly formalist. Or maybe his true signature style is that he hits the sweet spot between the two.

'The photograph is better than the photographer' reminds me of Winogrand saying that he takes photographs to see what things look like photographed. Its the nice surprises that occur outwith our conscious control that makes photography magical. I once took a photograph of some Mexican religious icons using a flash and portable umbrella and in the photograph it looks like Jesus is holding the umbrella! All photographers at every level experience these unexplained gifts... sometimes they would also occur in the darkroom. All the arts experience this but with the 'realism' of photography the accidents make it extra special.

As much as I love this artist and his works, he uses the same verbiage for every interview and every book about his process or technique. He has basically created a very wordy way, in a very “Leica” way, of saying basic things. Take for example his point of departure story. He tells the same story all the time and then shrouds it in mystery by making the actual “point of departure” elusive to the audience. It can mean going to the store, or basing your works on a dream sequence. This is a Very vague and broad definition. This can confuse a reader or listener, this is elusive on purpose and makes him seem more mysterious. Take it with a grain of salt. I’ll sum things up, frankly and abruptly; make the pictureS YOU WANT to make. Don’t let another artist, who is rich and wealthy, make a script for your processes. Make your own script. Enjoy making art and be well.

@@SS-jt9ex who knows, he doesn’t even seem to know. He said in interviews that going out with the intention to photograph never worked. So he then was told to make a point of departure. Whatever that means 😂

Im really not a fan of his. I’m really not a dan of putting people on these pedestals in photography, while these people can be so basic and full of themselves. I’m not saying i think his worm is shit. I feel its overly glorified, and his mindset is too far put on a pedestal that people think they need to think like him to make a great photo.
