Everyone’s subjective. When you look at something, you’re being selective. You try to be honest, but it’s still your feeling about something… Every photograph is the photographer’s opinion about something. It’s how they feel about something, what they think is horrible, tragic, funny.

Three part event: Thinkings: How computers change the way we see by altering the way we think. »

San Francisco’s Southern Exposure will be hosting a 3-part event by Brad Borevitz (http://onetwothree.net)about the impact of technology on our visual thinking, specifically the automation of variation, the automation of the sublime, and the automation of the image itself.
