this image is one of nine different exposures taken with the camera's lens cap on.  in essence, this is the anti-photograph.  without any light information to read, the camera's sensors create "dead" pixels.  with literally a photograph of nothing, i presented the nine in a grid format in a critique setting without saying a word about the piece and letting the inevitable discourse happen despite the fact that there was "nothing" to discuss.  this relates to our own limited sensors and the fact that, as humans, we can perceive only a fraction of the physical scope of existence.  what we see as nothing is only everything that we cannot comprehend.
