A photographer, model, bystander…what were the various causal factors that created this moment in time?  Submitted in response to Robyn’s Seeing Differently challenge for October.

I hope you enjoy this video inspired by the photography book, Tao of Photography.

…The seemingly arbitrary cropping of figures by the picture’s edge, the unexpected shapes created by overlapping forms, the asymmetrical and centrifugal patterning, the juxtaposition of busy and empty masses–these qualities constitute a visual definition of what is meant, in large part, by the phrase ‘photographic seeing’.”

A Toddler’s World View…a Seeing Differently submission

seeing differently: 4th of 15

Jung describes synchronicity as a meaningful coincidence of two or more events, where something other than the probability of chance is involved. …The critical factor is the meaning, the subjective experience that comes to the person: events are connected in a meaningful way, that is, events of the inner and outer world, the invisible and the tangible, the mind and the physical universe. This coming together at the right moment can happen only without the conscious intervention of the ego. …it is as though the psyche had its own secret design…

~The Essence of Jung Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism, Radmila Moacanin

I find myself drawn to photograph people who seemingly are within their own worlds as they wander, interact, mingle within the public realm.  Yet, sometimes the eye is drawn towards the amazing abstract paintings light creates within the window canvas.

Seeing Differently is an October challenge proposed by Robyn.
