Whether you use blurred or sharp image depends on what you want to say — I don’t think that this is a matter of trend. On the current book project that I am working on, I am thinking of using some, or mainly, blurred pictures for the final chapter with the title of “Reflection”, in the dual meaning of the word as “thought” and “an image seen in a mirror” — just an example how blurred pictures can help express a concept or a feeling.

I also looked at your series at your website and locked it as a favorit page.
Your words are indeed a bit difficult to follow at times but your photo’s back them up for real .

My reaction is that the shorter, one-paragraph statement that is one the website is more compressible and relates better to the photographs…and, recursively, the greater number of photographs leads to more comprehension. Not really surprising that the the photographs speak better and with more depth than the longer text introduction. I like the photographs a lot.
