Grid Lock
This week in photo-blogging, I will explore the thoughts of the summer. I am currently on a much needed summer vacation. I am on the East coast, so I thought it would be appropriate to find a local photography exhibition to write about. I found this series done by artist Keliy Anderson-Staely, entitled Off the Grid. The pieces document a kind of people who live as the title describes: "off the grid". I needed a vacation because over the summer semester, I wrote a lengthy philosophical essay on the subject of alienation. As I reflect on my argumentation, I draw a few conclusions, the most general of which is that a balance exists between technology (the benefits of knowledge and information cannot be denied), and the 'natural man'. In other words, we should find a way to live sustainably, while still benefitting from technological advances. Here are some images that sum up this utopian, summertime exhibit which remind me why it's often important to remove onself from the mainstream and return to a more natural flow:
