Style

Listening to The Candid Frame Podcast #105 (with William Allard) on the train to downtown Chicago this morning got me thinking about photographic style. When listening to interviews I typicaly imagine the question being directed to me and in other podcasts someone asked a photographer about how he'd describe his "style.". I couldn't answer that for myself and figured it was because of lack of experience in broad-based photography. While listening to Allard it occurred to me I no longer care to answer that question. I prefer to let others describe my "style.". For me it seems o be more a subconscious thing rather than deliberate acts on my part. Somehow knowing my style scares me a bit. Will I feel limited and lose motivation to experiment once I know? I don't care a great deal to know. I shoot what I want in a manner I feel is both creative and challenging to me. I guess I can afford to do that since I have no clients of which to speak. :) I am, however, curious to hear what viewers of my work feel my "style" is. Guess I care a small deal to know. I'm in no rush.
