Photographer Michael Schmidt, from the exhibit Grey as Colour
at the Haus der Kunst in Munich.
I once described myself as a dead-end photographer, meaning that I always wander into a dead end and find no way out. I then accept this condition and at some point I am back out. This means that failure is an integral part of my work process.

This connects for me to previous posts/conversations about the positive value of constraints in spurring creative solutions; failure is in one sense just another constraint to be worked with.
