Photo is more than a textual message. Closer to subliminal charm. I recall a shot I did for Clorox of 5 different sizes of Pine Sol. The order, spacing, altitude, perspective, and framing along normal product shot lines. However, when you looked at it, you saw a family; Ma. Pa, Uncle Bert, Ted, and Lil' Sis. You could feel it. I did a shot of one of the first satellite residential Electricity Meters. Can o' corn? No. Tilted, chin up it; was smiling at you.

I have no idea what art is but I will own my work as craft. Part of the craft is touching places in peoples' minds.

I think art comes from practical origins Whether perhaps magical for maybe hunting a bison, making houses to live in, pots to keep water in, etc to become later unattached from purpose 🤨🖼️

This quote says it all for me: “Art is a way of making feelings happen.” Thanks for sharing this!

Sounds like a good one, thanks for sharing. Love that Eno in his later years is really going deep on creative process.

Me too. I have another Eno-ism on my desk right now and I'm sure to write about it in the future.

Dag, Eno keeps popping up in readings and viewings and listenings of late. Not a complaint. Just a tad freaky to have his name as a recurring presence in 2025.

Hadn't heard of this book. Will investigate. Thanks.
