Seeing and Time
Photography, because it draws from reality faithfully, work with the real world in such a way that our mind's images and the world of objects do not appear to be different save for one: it appears to be frozen in time. Photographers support and encourage this and we enjoy the illusion. Adding to this that the printing of a photograph, returning it to the world of objects (today's digital image not withstanding) fixed in time, is an effort that consists of both set processes and interpretive processes.

Trying to Write Myself into Not Hating Dada
So I should preface this with the note that in spite of the vitriol I am about to throw at an entire art movement, I do not have any less respect for the creativity or mastery of craft that arists who engage with this movemant possess.

How A Photography Class Didn't Teach Me How To Be A Photographer
There truly is something to say about the phrase A picture is worth 1000 words. In the process I've made in photography for the past eleven years, I've learned that photography is more then just clicking the shutter and capturing the image. I wanted to learn photography so I could have better quality photos to use for anime conventions and my cosplay photos. But as soon as I got that fujifilm camera in my hand, my whole perspective changed. I walked around my neighborhood testing out the camera, I loved how I saw the surroundings through my lens. I felt creative, and a new sense of wonder. Photography gave me that feeling I never had to truly see the world around me.

A Little Bird Told Me
For exactly half of my life, I lived in a neat little golden cage. Everyone who peeked inside saw a cheery little bird, if perhaps a bit flighty. But if anyone had looked more closely, they would have realized how ugly it really was inside. It took a divorce, loss of a job, selling a home and a global pandemic to send all that gilt tumbling. While the crash was over, and the wreckage assessed, I discovered the door to my cage was terrifyingly open. Over the next few months, I timidly peeked out and discovered that the world was more beautiful than I’d remembered.
