I AM intrigued! I have seen a drift in this direction lately and I think it speaks to something bigger happening to us as photographers. Less focus on clinical sharpness, aggressive communication that steers you toward a strong opinion. Good stuff Kenneth!

Thank you Juliette. The amount of variables within this drift you mention feels like it could have infinite directions. Our minds as photographers has to be open and receptive to all the stimuli we're aware of. I appreciate your thought on this,

Cheers!

I like this. They almost seem like bits of daydreaming when you let your attention wander for a few seconds and just before you snap back to being present.

These look great. I’ve got an old film camera I can’t get to focus reliably plus some film that’s way out of date so I’ll try something similar next time I’m out in the country and see what happens.

I’d say you were successful in your intent. It was like I was looking at these with my glasses off. The music was spot on too. Always enjoyable!

Hi Monica: Exactly with glass off. Or, for those with great vision, squinting ones vision.

Cheers!

Love these. Sharp focus is overrated and unnatural to most people’s experience. I’ve been enjoying the work of this guy Robbie Lawrence recently who embraces the effect of being out of focus: http://robbie-lawrence.com/project/commissioned/
