I was going for the beauty in distortion thing. My wife simply called it out-of-focus garbage.

All the best,

I see photography as an extention of my addictions... no addiction is clear, sharp, perfectly formed. Addictions fill in the corners of ones life with excuses, blurry visions, dreams that don't belong. And, sometimes... beauty.

Sharpness is a bull**** bourgeois concept? Maybe photography is a bourgeois concept that took hold and then was turned into a snobs paradise. Art? Concept?

Don't worry, be happy!

All the best,
Mike

I see the world through distorted lenses. I hate the dog next door he barks to much, my ice is melting in a sea of whisky, other than that...

All the best,
Mike
