Reflections on photography, art, beauty and the natural landscape.

Ecstatic

Musician David Byrne echoes one of the primary themes of this blog, namely that creative endeavors which succeed in engaging an audience work on a level that is separate and unique from our intellect:

Both art and music seem to bypass the rational and logical parts of the mind — rather, they are understood by myriad parts of the brain that are connected to one another. It is a different kind of understanding. The effect of this interconnection is pleasurable, ecstatic even.
