Recently, for me, our very own Jim Galli. For thirty years I have been turning out sharp, clear, "infinite" resolution 8x10's. And I have always envied those photographer with an eloquent command of the out-of -focus image and creative blur.

Jim has given me the visual vernacular to get to grips with this uniquely photographic phenomenon. Realist paintings, for example, are never out of focus. Now when I experiment with blur I think I can make sense of what is happening and what it is worth.

The philosopher Wittgenstein was on the money when he said that if we don't have the words we can't think the thoughts.

Thanks Jim for giving me an entree to the world of soft images.
