Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

woolshed diptych 1980

AE1, FD 24mm f2.8 SSC, Agfapan 25

 

Forty years ago, today, Phil has something to say! Solid and classic. Diptychs prejudice a reading because they can instigate a narrative. The POV is not simply the perspective of the camera eye but the human eye of history that is supposedly stopped for the moment, even with the brush of blur. I argue that the supposed cessation of time is a clock that starts ticking with the dialogue of the observer's viewing. It's a narrative that prompts interpretation on many levels, simultaneously. Consider the nature of allegory, a stated story with a parallel unstated meaning driven by interpretation. Water cascades.

An aside, I appreciate the edge detail, the fine black line that almost insinuates depth to the two-dimensional artifact of the photograph print, itself. Question: did you originally conceive of these two prints as a diptych? The movement of the moment?

Hatje Cantz just published Gerhard Richter Landscape, which considers Richter's various interpretations of landscape over the years. His use of photography as a starting point is significant.

There's such an insignificant spec way down the road, and it's not unreasonable to speculate it's someone else on the canal walk. There's such detail in your landscapes, roadside wanderings, that invites tagging along and enjoying evidence of living in the moment. Into the sun, I'm going to put on my sunglasses.

Thanks, I used to use that combination and somehow along the way it began to work less well, certainly less well than what you've posted!

Not following, leading I think. Bravo Martin! Nature is amazing, isn't it? For a simple European who hasn't ever seen one of these in real life, how big is it actually?

Wonderful framing Mike. It feels oppressive somehow and I can imagine that Jimmy Stewart's head would have spun if he had seen this photo.

Really cool and you fooled me completely. First I only saw the top and thought eh uh what? And then the sheer brilliance of this photo struck me. The footsteps! Sharp as a tack, together with the debris and road surface. Just brilliantly poetic when combined with the road receding and fuzzing out in the distance.

Artist, New York 1983. Dusty old negs revisited. Leica M4, Tri-X.

Congrats on the IIIa, it's my favourite camera. I'd like a black one from '38 which is my mother's birth year but their as rare as feathers on a pig. Excellent photo too, and it reminds me of how amazing film, with all its grain, is at resolving detail.

Yesterday the lockdown got milder and there was storm on the coast. I guess the guy next to the Saracen tower was taking photos as well.

No connection at all, but I also found a decent deal for a IIIa from 1937 (my father's year of birth). I already own a IIIc, but who cares.

Perhaps a concrete Kodak moment frame? :)

It's interesting that often when people talk about tonality of black and white film it's the shadow areas that get the most attention, or so it seems to me at least. But the highlights deserve it too, I think. And look at them here. Not a single one burnt out but all just falling nicely in a beautiful line and giving us a 3D tonality that we can almost reach out and touch. Well done Ray.
