“You seem to like minimalism. Or you try to make things look more minimal.”
“Your pics kinda feel like a god’s eye view. I guess if the god roamed the earth because it was curious to witness people.”
Two different people shared their insights into my photos the other day, which made me reflect on my photographic eye a bit more.
It seems not unlike my writing style. I try to express myself effectively and economically, with a high impact to investment ratio. That’s probably where the minimalism comes from. But it’s more than just that; in both modalities, I tend to “step back,” to “behold” the object of my contemplation, be it a seemingly random thing out there, like a car or a tree, or whatever random collection of thoughts or feelings I may be experiencing at the time.
Maybe it’s because that’s how I encounter my own affects; like navigating a city inside. Here a sensation, there a feeling — nothing made sense of until recorded and examined.
So, what if God was one of us? Just a stranger on a bus? What would God’s camera roll look like?
