Life Lessons from a Brownie Camera - Blemishes
Life Lesson #3 - Blemishes
With today’s technology even the simplest of cameras deliver image quality only dreamed of decades ago. Photos from the Brownie often have out of focus elements, lens flare, and light leaks that, depending on your perspective, either ruin a picture or give it something unique. I like to think of them as having character and being perfectly imperfect.
Wabi-sabi, a traditional Japanese aesthetic, is a beauty described as “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. A well-worn jacket or a pair of jeans, an old wooden boat, or a dog-eared copy of a favorite book cannot compare to pristine new versions, and lack that “special something," which often grabs our hearts.
