Photographs as Prosthestic

I am sensitive and my eyes are trained to see the micro-messages in peoples expressions. This is true for photographs as well as real life. Perhaps I should've been a detective. I dislike seeing photographs on social media. I will spend days looking at documentary photography but photographs of my family as a substitute for reality is not my bag.

“In a sense the car has become a prosthetic, and though prosthetics are usually for injured or missing limbs, the auto-prosthetic is for a conceptually impaired body or a body impaired by the creation of a world that is no longer human in scale.”

― Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking
