I'm not lazy drawing, no I'm not. I'm rather drawing more often, more than I've done my whole life. But I actually am lazy about photographing them.
I've done two jobs, meanwhile. The first one is taking reproductions of letters, sketches, and photographs of a famous Turkish painter, Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu, for a museum project. That's about a hundred photos to be cropped, cleaned, and colour - contrast corrected.
The other photographing I've done is for the contractor company of the VIP building of Sabiha Gokcen International Airport in Istanbul. That's another hundred images to contrast and colour correct, clean, and crop.
I have one thing to say, if you don't know it yet, digital photography has not made the job easier. One of the reasons is that you now have to deal with a computer more than anytime before. Things that you couldn't do before, or couldn't do as profoundly, you can do now. But it doesn't make things easier, it just makes them possible, and possible doesn't have to be easier. There is also this misunderstanding of photography, that it is a matter of putting an image on a piece of paper, well, it's not. It's about the eye, the seeing, the thinking, the feeling, and there is no technology, as far as I know, to improve those in megapixels.
