Pollock’s drip paintings, for example, are a physical manifestation of his self-expression. The photographer does not have this luxury, regardless of the content of the image that they create, what they capture will always contain an element of truth.<br /><br />While exploring this series I have questioned, can photography truly be abstract? My images are not a creation of my imagination; rather they are manipulated scenes, rooted in reality.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2630394791073082624-4277875049988727826?l=malloryquallspastwork.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mallorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630394791073082624.post-25019978795339076592009-10-04T12:15:00.000-07:002009-10-04T15:35:07.848-07:00<div id="PictoBrowser091004132003">Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer</div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.db798.com/pictobrowser/swfobject.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("http://www.db798.com/pictobrowser.swf", "PictoBrowser", "500", "500", "8", "#333333"); so.addVariable("source", "sets"); so.addVariable("names", "Circles of Confusion "); so.addVariable("userName", "mallorymichelle"); so.addVariable("userId", "43062650@N00"); so.addVariable("ids", "72157607170281409"); so.addVariable("titles", "on"); so.addVariable("displayNotes", "on"); so.addVariable("thumbAutoHide", "off"); so.addVariable("imageSize", "medium"); so.addVariable("vAlign", "mid"); so.addVariable("vertOffset", "0"); so.addVariable("colorHexVar", "333333"); so.addVariable("initialScale", "off"); so.addVariable("bgAlpha", "8"); so.write("PictoBrowser091004132003"); </script><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Circles of Confusion<br /></span>By Mallory Qualls<br /><br />When I was a little girl, I was going to grow up and become a Supreme Court Justice. I would take the hardest courses in high school, go to a prominent college, an even more exclusive law school and continue working my way up from there.<br /><br />When my father passed away I realized that the paths in life aren’t as clear as we would like them to be. As I grow older, I come to know that the past is easy to forget, the future is impossible to predict, and the present is difficult to decipher.<br /><br />“The photographer is immersed in darkness. Only partially<br />does the light hit his eyes. Partially. How can photography<br />see consistency when there is only a dim light that doesn’t<br />unveil the whole?”<br /><br />-Massimiliano Tommaso Rezza<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2630394791073082624-2501997879533907659?l=malloryquallspastwork.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mallorynoreply@blogger.com
