What does censorship really do in photography? Does it block out something that that observer wants to know, or does it make the observer all the more aware of everything that goes on in the picture? I bet the observer wouldn't have noticed the fire alarm in the top left corner or the figures in the window on the right.
Our vision is obscured as a monster looms overs, yet do we really know what is under the box?
A good way to identify an object is by its size, but when it is so ordinary can you recall its scale.
Your eyes are drawn straight up the path to an unknown making it hard for the leading lines to fray into the rest of the picture.
You wouldn't think that one thing makes so much difference, but it defines this sidewalk.
When you censor, what you were trying to block only changes form.
Although you can see what is trying to be blocked, you do lose a sense of what it is.
You can see the censored object clearly, how much more pretty is it when you can see?
You see what they want.
Paranoid.
