Reconditioning the eye



          Shot using a Canon 450D. It was a sunny day and I taking some photos on my balcony (stunning view I know). I want you to look at this photo with a Martial Raysse perspective and that is by looking at each part of this photo exclusively from the context it is in. Focus on the model for a bit, close your eyes, rub them, shake your head, then look again but focus on the mountains this time. Reset and focus on the trees then the clouds. Did you really look at each part as a separate entity? Did you look at the mountains without really noticing the clouds? Did you look at the trees as a whole or did the model interrupt your vision? The unconditioned eye does not exists, but let me tell you something that does exist... and that is the reconditioning of the eye. Practice makes perfect. The more you use this perspective when you examine art, the better you will understand it.
