Irwin Barbé

By my new favourite, Irwin Barbé.

So what is it that makes that raw, simplistic style of photography so attractive? Is it because you only see what you want to see? Or because only a select group of people will be able to appreciate it? For instance, I don't think my grandparents would be able to see the beauty in it, but rather the fact that the main subject is out of focus. I don't know what I'm saying, I just want to know why it turns me on the way it does. But I guess that's part of the magic.
