When I take this photograph of a paper towel, I am thinking how this is not a “good” photograph and how one might talk about the large amount of negative space in the center and lower left part of the image. I also think of how the image is only shape, color, and texture; how the shape is the most prominent feature; and how Rothko’s paintings consisted of simple shapes and colors. In a way this is a kind of anti-photograph. Apart from a little flare in how I compose the angle of the paper towel in the shot, I simply shoot the photograph because it is, in the thinking of many photographers, a “bad” photograph. In a sense the photograph is about nothing, but its lack of an interesting subject in the eyes of others is the reason I take it. What I am creating is both something and nothing, and it all depends on how you look at it.
