[00:00:03.75] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] Ethan Graves [00:00:05.42] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] alright, so first of all, what kind of things [00:00:08.74] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}have you read during your life? [00:00:10.88] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] When I was younger I read narratives such as RedWall and the Unfortunate [00:00:16.31] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}Unfortunate Series of events series, except now I read [00:00:19.88] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}a lot of photography and art related books. [00:00:25.36] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] Why have you moved to more art based books? [00:00:28.18] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] Um, I don't know I found myself being disinterested in narratives and so [00:00:32.65] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}and so now when I read books it's more for the information. [00:00:36.42] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}that they have in them versus for the story [00:00:40.06] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] What have you read recently? [Interviewee] Uh, recently [00:00:43.33] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] Uh, recently, I've been reading Within the Frame [00:00:46.66] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}Which is a photography book just about how one photographer [00:00:52.41] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}handles his career and such like that so [00:00:56.58] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}it's not, it's more documentary than narrative. [00:00:59.85] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] When you're reading what are you hoping to gain from reading? [00:01:04.38] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] Just a general understanding for whatever I expect that book to be. [00:01:09.61] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}So for a photography book I hope to expand on my knowledge of photography [00:01:14.27] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}and for any other artbook it would be that, [00:01:17.19] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}and for a psychology book just to expand [00:01:19.28] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}upon my knowledge of the psychology that it's basing it on. [00:01:23.33] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] By expanding on that knowledge how will that benefit you? [00:01:27.14] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] It'll make my, hm..., it will expand upon [00:01:36.51] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}information that I know for that topic and so it makes me [00:01:40.88] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}more knowledgeable and more useful and, so for instance, [00:01:44.09] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}If I'm going to do a photography thing if I have a vast amount of infromation [00:01:50.54] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}to draw upon versus a little amount than I'll be a better photographer [00:01:52.40] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] In what ways has these books helped you become a better photographer [00:01:58.79] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Intervieweree ] They just teach you a new [00:02:01.15] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}ways of looking at a space and what you want to photograph or [00:02:05.21] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}new techniques to use when photographing [00:02:09.34] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}somebody and so it just causes you to look at things differently. [00:02:12.63] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] Can you give me a specific example of how this has helped you? [00:02:17.09] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] Well one, some of the, one of the books that I read [00:02:21.53] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}was about focusing on mundane things to make [00:02:24.92] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}them interesting, so for instance looking at different angles of things [00:02:28.59] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}so, for instead of you, you know a picture of a tree shooting it from the bottom [00:02:33.74] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}if you have a way to get above it and shoot it down then you get a very [00:02:37.47] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}different image if you don't do what's regularly, or look at things differently [00:02:43.58] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] How much do you think these books have improved your photography? [00:02:49.67] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] I would say greatly due to the fact that it's just [00:02:54.03] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}due to the fact that the only two things that I can draw upon are [00:02:58.86] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}personal experiences and then from the books I can draw on [00:03:04.71] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}other people's personal experiences so it vastly improves [00:03:08.71] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}my photography due to the fact that it gives me a different point of view [00:03:11.02] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] Why do you think the people who write these books actually write them? [00:03:15.53] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewee ] I would say it's for that exactly that reason [00:03:19.70] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}for, to be able to share their point of view [00:03:22.12] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}and I would say it's because they know that all people don't [00:03:25.53] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}think alike and so by sharing that point of view, [00:03:28.27] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}it does exactly that, it helps other's see, and my guess would be that [00:03:33.79] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}they read photography books when they were [00:03:38.93] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}getting good and they realized how much that helped them and they wanted to help other [00:03:42.29] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] Do you feel as you grow in your [00:03:45.56] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}own photography you might invest in creating your own photography book? [00:03:49.96] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ interviewee ] I would say probably not in the instructional manner because I'm not a good [00:03:54.23] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}write but I enjoy that they have taken the time to write these books. [00:03:58.45] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interviewer ] Alright thanks for sitting here and telling me your story [00:04:03.28] {font:Arial}{size:14}{Plain}{textColor:65535, 65535, 65535}[ Interveiwee ] Yep, thank you.
