The Shadowlit Realms
| Labyrinth of the Mind |
PhotograhsI have always been fascinated with the photograph, the snapshot, and I have written poetry before exploring this idea. There is something myserious and fascinating about it. I cannot help but to wonder just what was going on in that moment that was captured, and what is the untold story behind? A photo might offer some clues and there might be some people, historians, invesitogators, and others that learn from photos, but for me they have always offered more questions. Who are these people and what is the truth behind the scene captured in the lens? What are those smiling faces really thinking about? What are they concealing?Then recently I have read in Utne about this new sort of art, in which people have began collecting old photos that have been found, weather it be just upon the street, or stocked away forogotten about in an attic and rediscovered again, and I could not help but to take an intrest. There is thie website www.moderna.org/looktatme, which I have linked on the right hand side of my blog called Look At Me, in which people can submit photogrpahs that are then posted on the website for others to view. And there are a few rules/restsictions to submited photos. The photo must be at least 25 years old, it cannot be a personal photo, it should not be taken by a professional, and it should be a photo that was found in some way. It really he quite intresting, and though each photo tells its own story, I cannot help but to wonder about the story beneath that story, the story that does untold. 4:20 PM - 1/14/2007 - post comment
