scene/not seen 1

One thing about my mind is that it comes up with projects at a steady pace. And rarely those ideas turn into Things That I Have Done but that does not slow it down, even a little bit.

The idea for this project came to me in 2004 or 2005, before I even thought of myself as a “real” photographer. Or any other kind of photographer, as far as that goes. When the idea arrived, it came with a title, which was a nice thing for it to have done. I dabbled with it back then, but ran into some problems. I lacked Photoshop, for one thing, and the cheap alternative was unwieldy. I got bored trying to figure it out and gave up.

Or so I thought.

My brain had other ideas, as it does, and anyway, here I go again with this thing that wants to be called “scene/not seen”. We’ll see where it goes this time…

I’ve had this idea in my head for a long time; it finally made enough noise that I couldn’t ignore it any longer.

Who knows if what we see is real? Or what else might be there that we miss? Or what’s real?
