WRITING: Memories of Mirage: The Optically Unconscious Image

When a film photograph's outcome exceeds expectations... celebrate by writing a class essay about it.


This short essay analyzes the creative process of a photograph I took on film while venturing into the Egyptian desert. I define and incorporate the concept of the "optical unconscious," which I learned about in an insightful course about the intersections of time, photography, film, and memory. Sometimes, the intentions behind a creative work are met in unexpected ways.
