Our dining table (the leg part).
Max sees things very differently. Because of Asperger's, we are often reminded that Max does not relate to us or his environment in a typical fashion. He is compulsive, rational to the point of being profoundly irrational, and he can seem annoyingly disconnected from what we perceive as reality. I have wondered how I might "see" what Max sees.
Last night I hung my camera around his neck and gave him a brief lesson in digital photography. He was enthralled. He took dozens of pictures and was very focused in his pursuit. Some subjects were photographed 5 or more times; he carefully made each shot progressively closer. Art is subjective, so are interpretations, but I think he reveals a lot about how he sees his surroundings and family.
Interesting...
