Counterpoint

For any of you living in NYC (or for those of you who may be visiting soon) I highly recommend going to check out the Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison "Counterpoint" exhibit at the Jack Shainman Gallery. (running from October 10th-November 8th). This husband and wife team are brilliant together, and their photographic creations are amongst my favorites.

The Blur

i've needed glasses and/or contacts since the age of six. without them, i'm pretty useless beyond 4 feet. i'm a visual creature. i live and breathe through my eyes. and i really wish i had better "unassisted" vision. but at the same time, i've kind of fallen in love with the blur. the soft mystery of the world when my eyes are bare. the way the light seems to take on an ethereal quality and just bleed into objects and forms. an ocean of soft shapes and bokeh and liquid light. how could that be bad? (i mean unless you're driving of course ;)  sometimes my broken eyes remind me of the light effects i can achieve with polaroid. and sometimes the blur just feels more natural.
