Kerouac On Photography.

Post by tinkerjack » November 7th, 2009, 4:41 am

Contrary to the general belief about photography, you don't need bright sunlight: the best, moodiest pictures are taken in dim light of almost-dusk, or of rainy days, like it was now in Delaware, late afternoon with rain impending in the sky and lights coming on on the road.
Critics of Mr. Frank's photography have asked "Why do you take so many pictures of cars?" He answers, shrugging, "It's all I see everywhere...look for yourself."
From "On the Road to Florida" Evergreen Review, January 1960

I don't dabble in a lot of photography, but when I do I take uninteresting pictures. I don't know what it is about that.
`Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,' Alice went on...`when I saw all the mischief you had been doing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into the snow! And you'd have deserved it, you
little mischievous darling!

I only have two of his books. One is a collection of essays and short stories called <center>Good Blonde & Others</center>
Those quotes are from that book.
