He literally points to things with his finger&#8211;a tree, a building, a cloud, and then he will tell you what he knows about the thing he is pointing to. When I was about ten years old my parents bought me a used 35mm camera and I started walking about taking pictures with it. I realized that it was a way for me to point like my dad at things that I found interesting and then capture them to talk about later on. When I had the camera in my hands the world became a more visually interesting place, or I guess the world didn&#8217;t change but I became more sensitive to what was interesting to me. I continued to take pictures and look at the world in terms of possible photographs for the next couple of decades. Then I decided I didn&#8217;t need a camera anymore, I could just walk around and see interesting things with out the camera device, some of these things that I see turn into projects in one way or another. Largely I think of what I do as an artist as just pointing to things that I think are interesting so that other people will notice and appreciate them too.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.harrellfletcher.com\/index3b.html\"><br>http:\/\/www.harrellfletcher.com\/index3b.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HARRELL FLETCHER,&nbsp;<em>THE AMERICAN WAR<\/em>, 2005<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/fletcher_american_war_h1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/fletcher_american_war_h2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/fletcher_american_war_4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HARRELL FLETCHER (COLLABORATION WITH MIRANDA JULY),&nbsp;<em>LEARNING TO LOVE YOU MORE<\/em>, 2002 &#8211; 2009<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/fletcher_learning_to_love.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HARRELL FLETCHER (COLLABORATION WITH JON RUBIN),<em>&nbsp;WALLET PICTURES<\/em>, 1998<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/fletcher_wallet_picture_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/fletcher_wallet_pictures_3.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HARRELL FLETCHER (COLLABORATION WITH JON RUBIN),<em>&nbsp;SOME PEOPLE FROM AROUND HERE<\/em>, 1996<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/fletcher_some_people.jpg\" width=\"545\" height=\"352\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harrell Fletcher\u2019s website http:\/\/www.harrellfletcher.com\/ Learning to Love You More http:\/\/www.learningtoloveyoumore.com\/ Harrell Fletcher, Interviewed by Allan McCollum, Bomb magazine, Spring 2006 http:\/\/bombmagazine.org\/article\/2800\/harrell-fletcher Photography and not photography&nbsp;(from his thoughts on Art and Education) My dad has always liked pointing things out.
