Ouellette shoots primarily at sunrise/sunset, which causes some of his pictures to be noisy. He maybe needs to invest in a tripod. However, a lot of his photographs feel spontaneous, as if he just happens to be in the right place at the right time. That being said, we can see that he's doing the best he can given the circumstances.
What I found very interesting about Ouellette's work is that we can see the progression of thought and interests. We can see what he's interested in exploring, and how those interests evolve over time. He is interested in landscapes, but there's no clear unifying theme. He primarily just photographs the things that he sees that he wants other people to see. This raises a question about an interesting concept of making, not taking pictures.
I think you can "make" a picture just by photographing what you see, because what you see is not necessarily what other people see. By taking the photograph, you are able to manipulate what other people see, in order to capture a specific moment. I think the line between making and taking pictures is mainly intention. I'm not sure if Ouellette specifically embodies "intention," since a lot of his work seems random.
