Finding growth in unfamiliar photographs
I’ve noticed that the photos I spend the most time looking at usually aren’t the ones I would take myself.
That’s not by accident. I do it on purpose. I don’t look at other people’s work to confirm my own taste or to compete. I’m looking for something that pushes me, for moments when I’m not sure what to do next.
When imperfection feels true…
The other day, I was reading the blog post “Not being able to see very clearly is believing” written by Joerg Colberg, and it made me ask myself a question - why do people find lo-fi video and mobile phone images more believable?
