Rapture at 384 Main. Tucson, Arizona, 2014
It’s been a busy week. It’ll be Thursday or Friday before I get back to regular postings.
In the meantime, chew on this quote from Susan Sontag, from On Photography:
“While in principle all subjects are worthy pretexts for exercising the photographic way of seeing, the convention has arisen that photographic seeing is clearest in offbeat or trivial subject matter. Subjects are chosen because they are boring or banal. Because we are indifferent to them, they best show up the ability of the camera to “see”.
Would the above image be one of those examples of the “trivial” or “banal”?
