parallax errors begins from its title: the perceived displacement of an object when viewed from different sightlines. Known to photographers using rangefinder and twin-lens reflex cameras, parallax is also central to human binocular vision. Our eyes receive two slightly different images, a doubling rendered invisible by the brain’s processing of two images into one. Normally, aberrations are dismissed, and visual clarity is perceived. 

Ten years ago, my vision began to change. I started to see what was always there. 

There is no diagnostic language, no exact words to describe the characteristics of my sight, nor how it feels to see this way. Words failed, so I asked: could photographs step in for what words could not express? Could a camera make others know how it feels to see this way?

The photographs are single exposures made on film. All visual effects are achieved in-camera using physical, optical interventions to the lens. I disrupted the camera’s normative vision using glass, altered lens filters, prisms, and mirrors to provoke apparitions from what I photographed. What was in the viewfinder felt like the emotional impact of seeing how I see.
