It all started innocently enough: my wife asked me to put together something for her -- a bit of a trifle, really -- but upon unpacking the first piece of the assembly I was immediately captivated by the photogenic possibilities inherent in the various pieces. Thus what might have been a five minute job swiftly evolved into a photo shoot consuming the better part of two hours.
(Furthermore, while taking brief breaks from this unexpected project I found myself beginning yet a second, utterly unrelated series, imagery from the television . . . thus I was consciously and deliberately simultaneously immersed in two distinctly different photographic themes. Efforts from this parallel universe will be unveiled soon . . .)

ReplyDeleteWhat is it? Sideways view of a flaming Eskimo? Mating dance of two starships?
Maybe if we take a step back- view it as process? Remarkable play of light and shadow, subtle cloud of edge and grain and shape, devoid of any substance except its form?
Beautiful, yes, but the nagging feeling that it IS something... Meanwhile, the eye knows better- It LOOKS NICE.
