Finally free to drive around without any special permissions! I drove to the beach, although it was a twin peaks kind of day!

Like the incipit of Neuromancer by W. Gibson: "The sky was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel".  Funny thing my modern tv is now black when the channel is dead. 

Leica IIIc with SBLOO finder, Soligor 35/3.5 LTM and HP5

This diptych has presence and an undefinable "what if." Three figures, and then two. Reflections, then sand. And, you do this thing with horizons and vignetting, flare to white. Thomas Bewick (pronounced Buick, like the car, I learned), a woodcut artist during the British Romantic period, innovated the effect of the vignette, a departure from well-defined perimeters. Screenwriters use the term FADE TO WHITE, which says something differently than the customary FADE TO BLACK. The poetic placement of your figures is not happenstance and invites an extended dialogue on the shoreline. I am going to invoke Phil's "cinematic" handle to characterize this work. Putting this diptych into the context of pandemic, then, expands the reading beyond vignette.

Leica 111F 24mm Snapshot Skopar - Agfa APX 100 (original) dated 2010 - Rodinal.

 

 

This is such a strong composition that echoes well beyond the cavernous architecture, the sun reflecting the broken windows into the building's shadow. I would swear your account sounds like the voice of Ray Carver. Your photograph holds me still.

Well I finally did it, not easy given work, I starting developing my own black and white. The few shots below are Ilford HP5+ developed in DD-X. Nothing fancy, just ABC from the Ilford instructions. It was one of my goals this year in photography, the other getting into a studio and learning lights to take portraits. Covid took care of that. Anyway, just proud to share some pics, not that developing is all that hard but there is a satisfaction to doing things yourself (at least for me).

 

Reading this diptych sits me up to take notice, like a carefully composed little symphony with all the notes in just the right places. Those medical masks and the figure carrying the STOP sign, so telling. Poetic. Start reading at the top, then drop to the construction at the bottom. STOP. Then, return to the top with a new slant informed by the bottom. Like a song that repeats, only the beginning becomes different as a result of the ending.

The streets of Soho - London UK.

From My project - "Living like this"  - Life in the UK.

With my all time favourite combination of my 1936 Leica 111A,  50mm Elmar lens and Kodak TRI-X film in Kodak D76 1+1.

Just to hold this jewel and look at life through it's tiny viewfinder - more than photography it's an emotional experience.

A beautiful camera who's little click slips between the heartbeats.

As Robert Capa said    "I had my little Leica with me"
