Learning to see
This photograph was once displayed on my color laboratory office wall, I was looking for something to shoot one day and put this broken light bulb on a green background. I photographed it as a horizontal and then put it on display as a vertical, just because it fit the space. Someone came into my lab and saw it and asked what it was and started laughing. He saw the face while I was still looking at a broken light bulb.
Not seeing this face makes me wonder how much visual information I fail to recognize each day and think it must be enormous. I’m going to spend the next few weeks looking for things that are right in front of me that I’ve missed. Just the volume of visual information that we receive every day makes sorting through it all a challenge, not just trying to see what is right in front of my face. I’ll post my findings here.
