gaze



This is my favourite wabi-sabi photograph from Monday's session at the MAC.

What do you see?  A tiny person threatened by a rapaciously toothed monster?  Someone falling from the top of a very tall peak?  A gentle, straight incline? A fine-art museum-piece?

In reality it was a deliberately out of focus photograph of some minor imperfections and scuffs on the side of a waste-paper bin.

The Japanese concept of wabi-sabi is intriguing. The celebration of impermanence, imperfection, melancholy and the everyday.

This is my first attempt at wabi-sabi photography.
