I have just added two new images to my Dualities Gallery. CLICK HERE to see the entire series.
The responses I've received both publicly and privately to this Dualities series are telling me that it is doing what I'd hoped, and that is encouraging viewers see things in new ways. Each viewer not only has unique emotional responses to an image but often comes up with their own ideas about what that image means. To my mind, that is what art is all about. Let me share with you two responses I've received thus far:
Ai Li (http://www.pbase.com/limaili/profile) says, "A photograph often offers the photographer a gift she doesn't expect, what the eye longing for meaning sees unconsciously, and includes. Good photographs not only compel our interest, they're sometimes disturbing, inevitably reminding us of what we've overlooked. They manifest themselves in the mind of the viewer and the meanings associated to them can be entirely different and detached from the original intentions of the photographer, to the point where the viewer turns into an interpreter and offers a completely different reading of the photograph. This process frees the inexhaustible and evocative power of the photography."
Offer Goldfarb (http://www.pbase.com/offerg/profile) sent me an email that I asked him to post as a comment. CLICK HERE to read it.
My creative process is much enhanced when you share your thoughts and feelings with me. Thank you for doing so.
