Morbid Art
April/06/09 09:33 AM
Visual arts have always being within me in some
form. It is ironic now that I think about it but,
I regarded photography as something not worth
pursuing. I used to think that you could not
capture the true essence of moments in a photo;
photographers would inherently miss so much
information when they press the shutter. Why
bother, I used to say.
Memories in the other hand have the capacity to bring back moments. What I discover soon after my first digital snaps was that, for me at least, photographs were the triggers to bring back those memories.
Seldom times I bump across certain images that don't trigger memories, but certain sensations that are not part of my past, but evoke certain emotional or psychological reactions in my mind. I won't get too philosophical on this so I'd better show you what I mean: Morbid Art.
