I'm very interested in combining images and this essay just makes me more interested. You really nailed it. Well done.

The Daniel Gilbert quote should make any visual artist pause. The dance between eye and brain is never ending and different for all. We move forward through life, evolving with no turning back. How we saw something yesterday is gone.

I̢۪m a stubborn purist who̢۪s out of touch with modern digital art. I like whimsical and enigmatic but believable at the same time. The photographer who leaves no footprints, where how never competes with why. Some of your images are just out of reach because I know how they were created.

Having said all that, I did enjoy your essay. It̢۪s a wonderful display of relationships, bringing life to the inanimate and a deeper meaning to these installations. My critique is more about me than your photographs.

number 12, 13, and 14 - my favorite stretch of images in your essay. In 14 the blinding glare on the painting with red hands covering the sculptures eyes. Brilliant!

So I sat down beside her and asked what she was eating, "Curds" she said....and I said "No Whey"

I find myself having similar challenge as I do when looking at Don's essays. Words don't come easily to me, I'm simply not eloquent.

All I can say is I enjoyed looking at this collection of images, very cleverly put together.

Interesting light! But I have a feeling that the background was heavily darkened (apologies if I am wrong, Mariuca!), so it probably would not work for the FS
