Metaphors on Vison - Serena Milan



This excerpt has an interesting perspective.  It reminds me that we are limited by our experiences.  With vision for example, from the moment we are born, we are learning things (composition, good, bad, ugly, nice). These lessons limit our vision as well remove our innocence or naivety. This article resonates with me  because I would like to have a Kino-Eye, an eye that moves without the restriction of what we are used to seeing or have learned to see, an eye that perceives things in a unique way.  I realize that when I think of filming, I feel limited to recording things in the way I am used to seeing them, which is not necessarily the best way. I agree with the writer "after the loss of innocence, only ultimate knowledge can balance the wobbling pivot point." To me this means that after the world has affected the way to perceive things, having ultimate knowledge brings an awareness of our skewed perceptions. We can follow all the rules that we have learned or we can break them on purpose, an option only education can bring.
