This shoot is from today (technically yesterday, since it is now after midnight).
I am working on a new vision. I am happy with the way it's going. But I am not sure what it is about, essentially. So if you can give me some ideas about that, I'd be grateful.
Thanks, guys.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if youse guys are talking about just the poster photo, or the shoot as a whole?
I've long loved textures/patterns.
And I suspect that I find verticals to powerful. Maybe I find horizontals to be tranquil. Something I may get to one day when I have learned to relax better.
I see an artist/ photographer...with his new digital camera looking for images which interest him both ethetically and artistically...but not necessarily emotionally...The photos you took of your home town over the holidays were very good because they projected your love of the place where you grew up...the water...the land ...the boats...the frost...the clean air...even the the quiet...
ReplyDeleteThese new photos look like you are searching for a picture and the subject matter is not necessarily important...only the design, color, texture and light seem to imterest you...
What do you think?
It could be true. But it could also be that Karrebæksminde is simply a much prettier place.
ReplyDeleteI guess we'll see when I get to a pretty place I did not grow up.
I`ve taken so long to come in on this discussion, because I still haven`t completely formalised my thoughts on the content.
ReplyDeleteThey are, of course, stunning photographs.
Lee, Wonko and Uncle Ron have commented on the strong emphasis on texture and design layout, all things which you love in your work, and make a strong design statement with.
But there is more going on in these photos, and I could be of on the wrong wavelength entirely, but here goes.
There is a strong play on the relationship between industrial and organic..and how the two co-exist, or not...the industrial on the one hand seems to blend in, but perhaps only because there is also a feeling in some of the shots of the industrial being slightly old and decaying, with the environment creeping back to engulf it once it is beyond repair..
but in the shots, the environment doesn`t look as if it is doing too well either..it`s more of a sort of man-made idea of the environment which was a utility drawing of an easy to keep garden which hasn`t been properly maintained.
I`m rambling now....I`ll stop and you can let me know, as they say in Glasgow, if I am talking mince!!
The design element is so strong, and I get this wonderful feeling of the beauty of urban decay, when the two elements, industrial, and environment, have an uneasy but strangely beautiful relationship and appearance, but, of course,it is a fine balance,and one of them will eventually become more dominant than the other......but which one...?
Okay, let me know if I was off at a tangent and talking complete mince..!!
The first impression that came to mind was a phrase.... "don't fence me in!"
ReplyDeleteEolake, Your photos all say to me you are waiting for Spring.
ReplyDeleteEach has cold man made metal somehow transposed against late Winters harshness. No joy of the crisp beauty of Winter that one would expect in a December photo shoot. Winter has grown old and has past its prime and the viewer of this world is looking for the first sign of a Spring.
In MN-USA the song birds are back from their Winter vacation on the South so if a person listens closely they can hear that spring is on its way.
