Blog Response #17

“I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.” Duane Michals

This is so true! When I think about some of the more interesting photographs I have seen, I feel like what makes them so great is the unknown or questions that come up. I think of my favorite photograph of a wine cork in the sand on a beach. For me, it always makes me wonder what is going on behind the cork (it is macro) and why it ended up there. Even stranger, I am the one that took the picture, so I know all the circumstances of the scene. I think this is also underscored with photographs that have a lot of black or white space - it creates interest.
