Partially blind photos

"A requirement for Photo Arts is the see" Here is the first of several experiments where I will try to create photos without actually composing or focusing the camera. These are the photos from experiment # 1 taken on an impulse with no particular subject in mind. The purpose is to see if great or interesting photos can be taken without seeing.

 The next experiment I will take photos blind folded.

The camera has a tool part 11

After watching the movie Persona by Ingmar Bergman.  I believe  I got a sense of what he is trying to portray and if I could summarize it using just single words I would use the following.
Personality
Entangled
Reflective
Insecure
Unbalance
Sick
Hopeful
Lonely
Sad
Vulnerable
Self
Though there are other words which I could use these will provide the bases on which to explore the content of the movie and create some still photographs.

The image style generated from the film's cinematographer Sven Nykvist is somewhat moody. The images plays with the light and shadows. This manipulation propels each scene creating life, excitement and it also compliments the story.  As for the style of my photographs I will attempt to imitate some of the effects shown in the film using lights and shadows. I am hoping to use some unconventional camera angles.

See my examples below.

The camera has a tool.

I think the camera is just a tool as a paintbrush is to a painter.

In our last class discussion.  My proff. said this.
"Art has a critical responsibility to nature whether it's conscious of it or not"
He also said it has the ability to be self reflexive.  I found this extremely profound.  This will take me closer to the understanding of what is art.

Here are some photo sketches I am presently working on.
