This strikes me as an uninteresting world, and probably also an unpleasant one. <br /><br />In any case, the distinction you make here between trivial and important decisions suggests to me that the idea of a trivial decision might be developed in terms of the liberty of indifference. If you sleep on or left side or right side, or if you wear gray socks or black socks, would be classic examples of the liberty of indifference. <br />Nick Nielsen https://www.blogger.com/profile/03900187813927577698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624031.post-35576912420874661782012-10-10T22:14:44.076+02:002012-10-10T22:14:44.076+02:00Hi Meg, long time indeed...

(Jag lär inte komma förbi Hbg i det närmaste, vad jag vet...!)<br /><br />De är slående - i all sin stillsamhet. Jag tror att just "minimalistic compositions in soft gray-scales" är det som gör att de når IN så effektivt som de gör. Många gånger när man tittar på fotografier, är det så många "ytliga" saker som väcker frågor. Ju mer avskalade bilder - som Smolianskis - desto mindre sådant brus behöver sinnet ta hand om, innan bilden når känslan, hjärtat. <br /><br />Och nånstans är det lite skönt för en blyg amatör att även ett proffs, en fotokonstnär, vill vara ifred när han tar sin bild. En bild i taget är ett bra motto - inte minst för oss digitalfotografer (och några av oss mer än andra - ähum...!).Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366747452292766058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624031.post-41979949728907120872010-04-24T09:59:26.590+02:002010-04-24T09:59:26.590+02:00Vilken restaurang är det?Vilken restaurang är det?Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811552800201167013noreply@blogger.com
