If the decisive moment reflects reality in tune with the photographers intuition, flawlessly combining composition and timing, then the abandoned moment is the consequence of a fractional instant of surrender. This collection, made over a 40-year period by renowned photographer Ed Kashi, reveals imprecise glimpses
of transitory events filled with frenetic energy the chaos of everyday life. Embodying photographys intrinsic power, they preserve moments that can never occur again in exactly the same time and space.
When geometry, mood, and possibility unite to unintentionally create something new, the magical and fictional qualities of still photography capture the unplanned essence of existence. In contrast to his journalistic approach of deep personal connection and keen observation, this work is about capturing the untamed energy of a moment with abandon.
