Philosophy of Photography Taking pics is one thing, but understanding why we take them, what they mean, what they are best used for, how they effect our reality -- all of these and more are important issues of the Philosophy of Photography. One of the best authors on the subject is Susan Sontag in her book "On Photography."

Things I dream (a set)

Sometimes its hard to explain why something gives you a certain feeling. Its even harder to explain what that something is. It could be a moment, or an idea, or even a sensation. You don't know why it affects you but it just does. Its like vividly remembering something from a dream.

I call this set things I dream because some of these pics were inspired by dreams and others feel like a dream to me when i see them. Have you ever remembered something from a dream that didn't make sense. Some of these pictures give me that feeling.

An interesting set of pictures...
I strongly believe that I dream in focus...I'll have to pay more attention next time...
I can fly when I dream...

love it.
Not sure whether i dream in focus though.
many shots do look like what i see when i get up from bed without my glasses, that definitely speaks to my perception of the world.
Great set, really enjoyed it.

best,

Despite the image styles being varied I found them consistent in feel. Good work.
