“What matters I think is not the process, but the end result… Otherwise, Warhol’s soap boxes etc, would be of no interest at all, if we were to judge art by how easy it is to create…Since the process is almost always invisible in art, the sense of wonder, for me at least, remains – an extraordinary idea, a beautiful thought, a skilled hand… ”

I found it over at A Photo Editor … Sometimes things go around and around. And sometimes that is ok.
Of course I only agree to the quote partially. I agree that this is the way I think when I look at finished material, especially at the material of others. When it comes to my own work, I find the process tremendously interesting! I have to, after all, when I am speaking about “the process” I am speaking about my life. The process is my life. Simple as that. So it better be interesting! The resulting work is merely the Journal … A receipt for a specific slice of time on this earth.
