Hi Doug,

You have been caught in Charlotte's Web! Each picture is so different one from the other so that I feel my Pineal gland has been put in a blender, LOL! So how do we get orientated. To me we neeed to look at each picture separately. If the pictures are meant to be viewed simultaniously as a triptych, then let's see them as one groupin of side by side ot vertically but with no need to scroll.

I am assuming that these are intended to be looked at individually, one at a time.

This is itself, even when viewed alone, disconcerting. The picture is taken at an angle and the radiator is duplicated. Just the tomatoes on the window sill are in the light from the window. It is hard to deal with, something disturbing and it evades any easy meaning. One shuttles between a dismissal as nonsense and a search for meaning. One doesn't want to be either rejecting something just because it's weird, (as that is both foolish and not politically correct :) ), nor does one want to be caught admiring the emperor's non-existent clothes. This is not something that I would either want on my wall nor that I would reject.

I think this is a good attempt to look at life from a different perspective and perhaps question our own assumptions that the way we have things is either logical or correct.

Thanks, Asher. Great comment, and helpful. A lot of photography I like leaves a "disturbance in the field."
