the Lens: Be careful what you ask for

Be careful what you ask for

Those who sacrifice to other gods will go to those gods. The ancestor worshipers will go to their ancestors. Those who worship the elemental powers and spirits will go to them. So, also, My devotees will come to Me.

What of the self-worshipers, shall they go to themselves...eternity constructed of infinite iterations of self and nothing more. What manner of hell is this; and so too the demoniac shall go to the demons.

Lenses are more than devices used to capture photographic images. Along with filters and framing, they are mental constructs through which we interact with and understand everything. They distort the ways in which we hear, see, and think. This has implications that go far beyond photography, but also impacts our flawed understanding of other people and the world around us.

Cultural Criticism begins with literature, philosophy, art, film, music, and television. But more than what these things means to their creators...the lenses and filters through which they made their contribution to culture...our interpretations of these are often tragically wrong...interpreted as they are by our own lenses, filers, and framing. Critical thinking involves challenging these in ourselves more than the other.

Place & Space deals with archaeology, architecture, and urbanism. How humans build and interact with their environment is not neutral, but it forms, focuses, and filters the ways in which we understand our societies and our places within them.
