Thanks Slobodan for reminding me just how effective scribbling on an image can be
So in my mind this is what I saw and photographed and IS the subject of the image and the only subject I was interested in, but as I said above, I obviously failed at doing this in any meaningful way, because most people didn't or couldn't see it.
But perhaps that then leads onto a deeper question, is that because what I saw only I could see through my view of the world, or is it because others could not see it because they were looking for something else and perhaps even before they looked at the image? Or perhaps they were looking for something that they wanted to see and that satisfied their own preconceptual tick boxes and so not really open to looking at what it actually is, so then only being able to comment on what it isn't?
...but yet again, who knows??
