I went to visit the spiral jetty a couple weekends ago and these were some interesting photos from the trip. Recently I learned about a concept called the Sublime. The sublime is basically experiencing a phenomenon as if it was your first time. So for a baby life is all sublime experiences, and for us we loose that curiosity because we become familiar with our surroundings. I believe photography is a way of creating a sublime experience because it captures a moment in time and forces you to look at that split second in great detail. A famous writer a poet, Wendell Berry, and also the author of Life is a Miracle thought that we can better see nature through familiarity and affection, and I believe that we can achieve that by forcing ourselves to have sublime experiences. By appreciating the beauty in front of us, with out preconceive notions instilled upon us by society.
