Seeing 2010 (#119)

For your consideration: an entry from the Glass series.

A multitude of possibilities:

. . . an interlaced depiction of an Event Horizon; light/energy being drawn into a compact orb even while simultaneously being ejected in precise reverse trajectory (a cubist version of the Event horizon); an in utero view of an embryonic, enlightened entity; a tentacle probing an alien atmosphere . . .

I find it enthralling, odd and mysterious that basic truths, fundamental knowledge (innate or learned) and revelations of things known to oneself at one stage of life can present themselves anew with the passage of time, to potent effect.

Thus: I've been smitten, enthralled and spiritually fed by the entirety of the photographic process since my youth, and was deeply influenced early on by exposure to the work of Adams, Callahan, Evans, Ray, Siskind and Weston . . .

Yet, in a newly (re)acquired, emphatically visceral awareness, I've been awakened to this: la vie est tout de la lumière.

It's all about the light.
