Framing the world made me see potential in the ordinary happenings inside the frame. I would focus in more clearly on what was within the cardboard border and in doing so I saw beauty in things I would have otherwise overlooked. Like the specific sway of a tree, or the organization of students sitting on the Muhlenberg front lawn. I felt some of the same self-consciousness I feel when I carry around a video camera, except this was more acute and definitely stranger. I framed patches of dirt and saw beetles and crickets in the grass, I framed my friend’s face and saw their expression change to one of being watched, I framed my living room and noticed that my painting was not centered over my couch. As the minutes went on I started looking for more interesting snapshots of the world: ones more aesthetically pleasing, more active, more engaging, etc. It was a dynamic exercise that showed me my campus through a different analytical frame.
