My creative expressions of choice for a few years now have been literary translation and photography. While these two artistic practices may not appear to have much in common, in my mind, they are joined at the hip as deliberate strangers to the author’s blank page and the artist’s empty canvas. Indeed, unlike other forms of creative writing and arts which often partake in the myth of absolute originality, both translation and photography trumpet their unoriginal beginnings and derivative finales. They ostensibly emerge from and insist on remaining an integral part of the source of their attention. To phrase things more concretely, the already fully written pages of an original text are translation’s jumping-off point and place of landing, while the pre-existing places and humans of the whole wide world in light and dark are photography’s sole elemental canvas. In that respect, translation and photography embrace unoriginality as essential to their creative labor. They begin and end by pointing to the source of their attention and, to a lesser extent, to its transformation. In so doing, they center on creativity as an expression of intimacy with a source page, place, or person. As a translator and photographer, all I know to do and all I want to do is embrace these expressions of intimacy with my own toolset through a lens of curiosity, momentary stillness, and an eye for the chiaroscuro of attunement and insight.
