These are ideas worth pursuing in one's own work. The idea of an image as subject/background or figure/bass is old, but looking at the frame holistically and knowing that it can hold a more inclusive view of reality is interesting. Maybe the subject is the ground, and the elements within it are organic and less precious.

Excellent article, great point of views and something to think about when photographing, and specially when considering going beyond the image, I.e evoque emotion. Li

Obscured by weather… beautiful. My favorite shot among all of these. Will it ever be available as a print for purchase?

Fun topic and one right up my alley!

You might like a book called “It Does Not Have To Be In Focus: Modern Photography Explained” by Jackie Higgins.
