We all know them, people who have a quick “you can’t do that!” rebuttal to any new idea. Check out this post on naysayers. I found it to be humorous how this blogger recounts sharing his thought on portable computers over 25 years ago. After thinking aloud to his teacher about a portable computer, he was told, “Who would want to carry a computer with them?” Can you say, “laptop?”
When I first saw this photograph, it was a moment of deep thought. For a few seconds this image rattled my focused mind and my imagination swelled with questions that my eyes wanted answered. The imagery is very strong. It looks like the cover of Nevermind, it looks like the split second after a shark bite, or even the ink spray of a squid. Then my mind lapsed into deep thought, again, about explosions in space, vivid colors in darkness, and what it may sound like to see and hear bursts of light in the nothingness of space. All in all, I hope that you may find some inspiration in viewing this photograph, and perhaps it stirs your imagination into some moment of abstract thought like I encountered.
