Sublime

   Synthesis of concepts
Consistent with reason
Music to the eye

S eeking knowledge on the Kansas prairie, a return to nature is established by relative spatial and temporal positioning. The scientific method assumes that experience and observation are the foundations of a logical argument. Nevertheless, there may be things that exist independent of human comprehension, going beyond perceptions of direct stimulation. Functioning under any philosophy of understanding, however, I find the act of photographic capture expands the possibilities intrinsic to the instant. Some moments seem more seductive than others do, and this differentiation classifies aesthetics.

“We call that sublime which is absolutely great.” - Immanuel Kant
