Noticing Details – 2022_12_13

A lot of my photographic approach boils down to noticing details. (And having a receptive mind, and a camera in hand.) Pretty much everything in the world can be explained by science and mathematics, but when it comes to art, all bets are off. There is a sense of mystery in the world that the artistic side of our minds seek to expose and illuminate.

The Brian Eno song “Sky Saw” offers an insight on this topic:

All the clouds turn to wordsAll the words float in sequenceNo one knows what they meanEveryone just ignores them
