About

.../miscellaneous - is a personal journal self educational in nature, containing notes and images that inspire me, or that I wish to learn more about - as such, it includes works by other people as noted with full acknowledgment and credit to authors and sources.

I also share content of my own making that I think is worth sharing with a larger audience. If there is any work by others who object to having their work posted here, I will remove the content if so requested.

Matt Niebuhr - Works ...examining the threshold at which ordinary visibility ends and perception begins... is a site featuring my work exclusively.

Intersecting Images : a "blog" with musings about art, photography and culture - begun in 2005

This image embodies a lot of what interests me in photography - the illusion of space / depth - rendered on a planar surface.  What is amazing is how our eyes / brain interpret the shapes …  and what elements give us clues to a perception of depth…

Never before - in reality again and again…

On the flow of images…   what happens when the flow becomes so great that we cease to actually look?

Benjamin H.D. Buchloh writes in his essay: Gehard Richter’s Atlas: the Anomic Archive referring to a quote by Siegfried Kracauer

“Never before has an age been so informed about itself, if being informed means having an image of objects that resembles them in a photographic sense. […] In reality, however, the weekly photographic ration does not at all mean to refer to these objects or urimages. If it were offering itself as an aid to memory, then memory would have to make the selection. But the flood of photos sweeps away the dams of memory. The assault of this mass of images is so powerful that it threatens to destroy the potentially existing awareness of crucial traits. Artworks suffer this fate through their reproductions. […] In the illustrated magazines people see the very world that the illustrated magazines prevent them from perceiving. […] Never before has a period known so little about itself.”

(written in 1927-1928 - thoughts about  how photographic production devastates the ability to form a memory image…  way back in the age of weekly magazines -  what about now?)

(here’s why I think attribution is important to all of us and no, it’s not just about my work - it’s for those who choose to make and those who choose to look - we should be enabling / using this opportunity to reach out to each other get to know each other better - make the effort)
