    Havent Yet Forgotten

    For my photo website, I have created a mission statement behind the content based on similar understandings of perspective and nostalgia. I’ve also been influenced by the term, “Negative Capability,” coined by poet John Keats describing the “capacity for accepting uncertainty and the unresolved.” Seemingly so, in both our art forms, I at least somewhat desire for the participants to feel nostalgia for a place they’ve never been or a face they’ve never seen. The understanding one brings from his or her own perspective and history, and how emotions come into play forms a unique conclusion for each person without being told what is occuring or an exact depiction of what it happening. I think it’s neat.
