NOICE Visual Expression Awards submission by Kaitlin Miller:
A good photograph is one that reveals what had always been there, but usually went unnoticed. It can be a passing glance between two people, otherworldly light in a familiar space, a picnic bench blending into the landscape in a way that feels unintentionally intentional. I’m drawn to the things that don’t quite fit, the moments that feel out of place, because they make you pause and look again.
I like when a photograph makes the viewer wonder why it was taken in the first place, but after some consideration, the answer feels obvious. That tiny delay, the click of the shutter, is where the image lives.
Photography sits somewhere between documenting the world and trusting your intuition in an instant. There’s always a bit of tension in what a picture shows and what it leaves out. The frame holds a version of truth, but never the full one, and that’s part of what makes the medium *nearly* honest.
