Portraits On A Different Level

                  One of the elements that seems to deeply ingrained into the American cultural consciousness is that of Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach's infamous inkblot tests-used prominently a little over half a century ago as a means of determining the sanity of a psychiatric patient,in particular those living with a form of schizophrenia. While eventually outmoded in practice,it was this Rorschach test that motivated my most recent photographic concept. One that I actually began to explore on a far smaller level when I first became involved in digital photography.

                 In lieu of the fact that this blog doesn't seem to be reaching people as much as intended,the need to showcase the photography I have done in a manner that truly changes our natural perception of reality presented itself. The Rorschach inkblot's continued to preoccupy my thoughts on this matter. Its intention was to be something unique-both tototally universal and totally individual. Each person would have a unique interpretation of these inkblots. And of course this method did in fact our understanding of both ourselves and each other might be mutually exclusive.

                  For the very first on this blog, I'm going to be showcasing photography with human elements to it. In this age of ambulance chasing lawyers and every possible form of liable slander surrounding copy-write protection and privacy of all sorts? Its easy to understand how someone such as myself might be afraid of presenting photographs of other people. Luckily the concepts of fair use and candid portraiture photography came to the rescue. So today I would like to present to you a series of re-constructed photographs,somewhat inspired by the Rorschach inkblot concept,that feature the sometimes elusively individual nature of humanity.
