“Photography
is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in
an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you
see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

Pictures from Jacob's Pillow in Becket by Birgitt Pajarola
Storybehind the pictures:
Since my unforgettable trip last
March, I was busy moving to Kent. My life entered a very chaotic, stressful
period and the last thing I could not do, was taking my camera out and create
something. However, I had tickets for Jacob's Pillow in Becket, Mass. and
went earlier than the professional performance took place. I wandered around
and came to the spectacular Inside/Out stage where some young kids were
rehearsing for a free performance later on
. My camera was packed btw.
moving objects in my car, totally unused since month.. I did not have the
time and care, nor did I remember how- and best to focus. Set aperture or
anything else, I just clicked like any smart phone user but with a Fuji
camera that needs some manual love. Fortunately the battery was not dead.
Here is the result.
“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.”
