Francisco Varela said the brain’s function is to create reality and meaning and not for processing information. Viva el Arte!!
Such a beautiful and moving piece. I don’t think I’ve had an experience in which uncommented images captured so vividly and powerfully the experience of looking at the world through the poet’s eyes. The dance of texture, light, color as captured through the lens was indeed poetic.
Mark, I’m glad you watched it and appreciated what I did. I was disappointed by the amount of people who viewed this page being so low. It was such a necessary piece to a full experience of the publication. I probably needed to title it something different. Also, if you like this sort of thing, spend some time on Vimeo.com. There is tons of this stuff. It is a whole genre at this point, of HD video shot with DSLRs. My brother is amazing and is making a documentary on surfers in New Jersey – surfers, not surfing. Anyway, check out my brother’s stuff as well at http://www.hoppingfrogstudios.com go to his videos. his photography is great too.
