Thanks so much for your ever enlightening feedback and that encyclopedic memory chalkboard you keep scribbling notes to be archived. Albers and the Bauhaus are such a wellspring of invention; the challenge is to push the innovation lever and jump ahead of the mechanics. That's why the metaphor read on color field theory is so intriguing--using rhetorical tropes like metaphor that need language as a voltage jolt for visuals that deconstruct the language and leave only the inexplicable visual. Neat trick if one can do it, but it's like Dostoevsky's puzzlement I have mentioned before: "Try and set yourself the task not think of a white bear, and the cursed thing comes to mind ever minute."

You mentioned the blacks in the color field, and that's from a nudge courtesy of Adam that put me on point to think seriously about black. The black I used in Recto Verso is a fresh asphalt street surface in front of Starbucks in Lihue, Koloa. See what a triple shot Americano does for the trigger finger? Much thanks to Adam for the prod. As for ADOX, I feel like soon I will be joining that ranks of the British explorers who went on expeditions to Nepal, hunting Rhododendron, just to find that rare ADOX bloom. Anyway, I've got my new Ektachrome 100 for starters.

Another reference I have pulled off of my shelf, a somewhat interesting bundle with Albers, is E.H. Gombrich's Shadows: The Depiction of cast Shadows in Western Art. A very thin book, too.

Here's another version of Recto Verso--I go through so many iterations.

Cheers,
Rog

 

I like it, Rog.  Very creative!!!

This one in particular has a lot of texture and depth going on.  My eyes take a tours through the ins and outs of the sections and textures.  A real interesting one!

I echo what Adam said about Matinee and am intrigued to see the progression of this series. Having alerted us to the wonderful work of Uta Barth, especially white blind (bright red) are we seeing a metaphorical nod to her work in this matinee series? Whatever, the juxtaposition of colors - spring green and autumnal red - with the shadows of branches (aha! shadows - another clue that you alluded to and appearing in Adam's quote!) makes a beautiful, Japanese-like (I've been reading the excellent "All About Saul Leither", another of your recommendations) panel. Exquisite thought, insight and execution.

The framing could have been much better, but I was happy nonetheless with the outcome. To get the whole cupola in the frame a 24mm lens should come in handy :) Here is another picture from the outside:

 

Same setup as my last one

I would say that your (previous) picture of the inside of the dome of St Paul's is perfectly judged with the 50mm. Of course you could have got everything in with a shorter focal length, but then it would have been a pretty ordinary record shot - albeit a tricky one to achieve as I don't expect the vergers would appreciate members of the public lying dead centre at the base of the dome (unless they were dead, I suppose...) 

And the above external shot with the cross at the apex is beautifully vignetted by foliage.

Less is so often more in an age where everyone has access to picture making devices.
