Converted from color, with granularity significantly accentuated. A nod to Bill Brandt, another early influence on my photographic growth.

ReplyDeleteAnother of James' visual challenges; there is this delightful moment between when the eye has seen the shapes, the angles, the grays and blacks, and the time when the mind says 'aha! this is a...', when the image is pure image- Not the representation of anything, but a pattern, pure, untrammeled by rules of depth, shadow and form. That moment is the space between heartbeats, the silence between thoughts. the most pleasant thing about these images is that, even after the mind has resolved the mystery, the memory of the mystery remains.
