Between Here and There
Some of you may see the above photo and think, oh, an out of focus image, but look closer, or maybe further away. The way I see it, this image is very much in focus. It’s the way you automatically define it as out of focus upon first seeing it that insterests me. The photograph above is not of a landscape, it is of air in front of the camera, the space there but not seen. This is a photo for your imagination, your assumptions, and your skeptisism. The beauty of nothing should not be defined as a lack of visual focus, it’s the implied focus that makes it unique to each viewer.
So while you look at this dont look at it and try to focus your mind on what it appears to be but focus it on what isnt there. A face, a memory, your lunch, anything. It is open space there for your mind to assimalate with. It lets you visualize whatever it is you need to see there in front of you. Put simply, it’s not nothing, it’s not anything, it’s everything. Then again, maybe for you, the fuzzy memory of a lake may be just what you needed, either way, I hope you enjoy it.
I shot this while out at the lake again one afternoon, it was on my birthday actually, I was taking minimal photos of a stick of all things and this idea popped into my mind. The clouds and reflection of the water with the green all lined up with the great color of the late setting sun and just felt right. Thought it would be a nice one for all you minimal lovers out there.
loving it ,
The ipad and iphone direct links don’t work. looks great!
a fine art.
Very cool! I’m assuming there’s a razor thin line of focus towards the bottom but I can’t even tell! :-P
One of my favorites, ever.
Greeting from italy. Pure art

It’s a nice looking wallpaper, but that description is unbelievably pretentious.
Wonderful :)
Equally pretentious is for you you pass such judgment on an observation written simply to look at the photo a different way. Sure, I let my wording get carried away at times but it’s all for the sake of looking at the world in different ways. It’s all in good fun, but I do realize that some people, such as yourself, may not find thoughts such as these with much interest.
I do appreciate your honesty though, thanks for the contribution, there’s no opinion I’m not willing listen to.
I love this!

Asking questions are actually nice thing if you are not understanding anything fully,
except this piece of writing offers fastidious understanding even.
This is beautiful. The image as well as the photo. I bookmarked your website 4 years ago, how I stumbled across it I don’t remember but I’m glad that I did. Cleaning up my bookmarks the other day I rediscovered it.
With that much time passed I don’t remember the words but the images spring to mind and they tug at my memory. They take me back there, to shared dreams and a new camera and plans to move to Asia. (I think that’s how I discovered your blog).
The dreams are alive yet no longer shared, the camera is old and the plan is taking place. It’s just funny, this blog makes it feel like yesterday.
Happy to see that the blog continues to shine, a big thanks for all that you share here.
