Unexpected Beauty
Nearsighted Globe understands that when discussing the importance of vision we are often compelled to highlight issues such as access to education, employment, and the ability to fulfill necessary live chores. Often left out of the equation is the possibility for visual encounters with Unexpected Beauty!
Nearsighted Globe (NG) invites the celebration of Unexpected Beauty; beauty that catches one by surprise in unexpected places/spaces/ways. The NG Team starts this journey, and we welcome you to submit your photo of Unexpected Beauty by emailing NG at info@nearsightedglobe.org (please include your name and any caption you would like – such as place place/space and date – in your email).
There is much unexpected beauty in this parked car covered with fallen bloom and reflections of the surrounding buildings in the windshield, hood side window and car door. It is an artistic collage and a performance art piece.
This image was taken in fall of 2016 in Charleston, South Carolina. The chair was on the sidewalk, apparently tossed out for garbage. The way the sunlight created shadows brought an eerie beauty to this discarded chair.
This image was taken while traveling between Boston and New York City early December of 2019. The moment was a reminder for me that beauty can break into the noise of what we believe we know to remind us that there is, indeed, more.
In this picture, the house on the top is an older house, probably from 1700’s or even earlier; it is surrounded by new buildings.
