Or…… Postcards and elsewhere
Most of us inhabit just one home, live in one town, and know intimately one locality. This makes every other regions as “elsewhere”. Adventures are usually to places we’ve never been. Exploration opens seeing and sharpens our senses in newness. Sometimes reassuring dormant beliefs, sometimes reinforcing core values, yet sometimes exposing ourselves to new perspectives.
Travelogue images, …aka postcards, attempt to capture a sense of place. Postcards are often used to give context to folks back home. Mostly these images reinforce the known, learned, or the seen. Sometimes, if only rarely —they open us to the unexpected or unknown.
