The Crust

In a lot of my photos, i try to recreate a duplicate portrayal of the things i see, feel and believe. Thus my a lot of my photographs are dark, with complex concepts that a lot of people treat as transparent. Executing photographs by making them meaningful to just myself makes me exposed more to what i want too build up on, within my photography and more importantly my mentality. I see a lot of beautiful images as i move from day to day, from some extraordinarily skilled photographers who create the the most beautiful landscapes, which to me, almost appears to show a world outside of life. I look at these images with awe and wonder how a finger muscle can make such an ugly place seem like the greatest personification of life, heaven. Saying this, these images mean just as much to the human mind as my flooring does to my ceiling. nothing. A lot of what people are distracted by from seeing the real soul of something is 'the outer layer'. The outer layer is everywhere you look, everything you touch, everything you feel, everything you hear. "Don't judge a book by it's cover", "Love a person for who they really are", you know these sayings, but no one ever thinks to apply the same rule to everything else. When i look at my images and see what i feel, it's the greatest sense of understanding i could ever get. Imagine reading your life story on paper, word for word everything you have ever said, thought and done. This is what pushes my mind to believe that there's something else rather than beauty that can give you that peace of mind, maybe reality in itself is nourishment for a person. Maybe when you can actually look at what your soul feels in a photograph, on a piece of paper, on a computer screen, maybe then (a small amount of) people will start to grasp the conceptuality of what 'feelings' are. I try to gain an understanding of unknown feelings through a lot of things, whether it be indulging into a conversation with somebody else, or alone with nothing but memories and thoughts. But when executing a photograph, those other things of reflection does not compare to the immaterial things that i have materialized from knowledge and heart.

I feel that everyone looks at their own photos differently to everyone else, i think it's an unspoken truth. DaVinci (i am sure), looked at his painting differently to everyone else, a mother looks at her child differently to everyone else. This is caused by the beauty of creation, when we create something a box of pride and ego explodes inside of us, we get so proud of ourselves, and we know the effort we put into making it. I am sure people can look at DaVinci's paintings and understand what it took to execute such a beautiful painting, but understanding and appreciation cannot compare with the knowing of what took place.

Oh yes, and one more thing. "When things aren't so sharp, we see the spirit more clearly."

Good night and thanks for all the faves
