It's just an architectural abstract detail of my local car wash. On another note though, if I can be a bit, hmmm, philosophical perhaps. Take the average landscape, or better still cat picture, posted somewhere, like on Instagram or Flickr. From the perspective of component image parts there's arguably less variety in such photos, esp the cat bloody pictures Anyway, there's no requirement to understand any art. I'm not saying this to 'defend' Rog's (in my view intelligently conceived and masterfully executed) constructs. I'm saying it in relation to my own stuff. I very much welcome discussion and negative and positive feedback on my photos, and think that the fact that this happens in this thread in a civilised manner (which isn't often the case here at LUF unfortunately) is a true testament to the genuine commitment and strong interest in film that those who frequent this thread have.

He has written clearly himself about many of the works and, should you be interested, a search back to find some of these explications might prove fruitful. As we've discussed, it's certainly not easy talking about visual media substantively when there's such a chasm between text and image, particularly in the territory of the abstract, but you have truthfully drawn the perimeters that intrigue me in assembling photographic fragments. There's the notable blur of painting, photography, and mixed media, so what interests me in my work is to consider color, texture, and form as the subject of the work, itself. Lately, Richard Diebenkorn's work has drawn my attention to the construction of perimeters, the way that he defines space by the edges of the work. It's not simply framing, but also leaving bleeds of color without a margin, which intimates a continuation of the color field. Another element that I'm using is Diebenkorn's use of diagonal elements. I've tried to work against the "tyranny of the rectangle" using diagonals, and this is the main thrust of the car wash abstract study. This shot of lime green almost got me arrested by the cops responding to a call from the manager of the car wash who was nervous about "some guy" taking photographs from the sidewalk. Just kidding about getting arrested, but I did explain to the cops I was only taking abstract color shots. "Okay, I get it," the cop said. ( No kidding.) "It's just that there's a lot of stuff goin' on." Really. Thanks, Phil, for all the tips on books that demand more real estate on my library shelves! I glance over at the shelves now; we haven't discussed Mike and Doug Starn, though. There's a new Ernst Haas book just out that I notice: Ernest Haas: New York in Color, 1952-1962. I paid dearly for his Color Correction and could only get a French publication in new condition. 11 hours ago, philipus said: Whaaaat? Oh noooo!

It's just that I fell prey to the seductive lime green. Of course, I played with diagonals, so I pulled out some complementary red diagonal fragments from my Diebenkorn palette. The lime green is just a straight shot. I applaud your comment about the friendly, very informative discussions on "I Like Film" thread. I am reminded of Tom Hanks's box of chocolates line from Forrest Gump.

I have had a day to think about this. I think you have described it perfectly. I don't think you are missing anything at all. The photos from individual photographers are, in many cases, similar. I imagine most who frequent and contribute are able to guess, accurately, who the photographer is, even before they bother to look. It is wonderful, like visiting a pub where you know, and are comfortable with everyone. Give it a try. But it has to be film........That is all that is asked.

stray cat Posted October 15, 2020 Share #71899 Posted October 15, 2020 Of potential interest to users of Leica M-series film cameras is this: https://www.kamerakraft.com/product-page/kameracraft-first-limited-edition-lmgrip-v1-0 It seems to me to be an incredibly well-designed piece of kit. I've ordered one and will let you know how it is once I've had a chance to put it through its paces. I have no affiliation with the vendor other than that I have ordered one. I can tell you that he replies quickly and helpfully to queries. It's maybe a little pricey - although not all that bad considering the excellent design - but bugger it, it's been a long time in lockdown and I've sold some gear so why not? 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently begun re-watching all of it and it strikes me how much they invested in that production. The production design may not be everyone's cup of tea with the sometimes overdone and unrealistic lighting but they really put a lot of effort into creating a consistent slightly oppressive atmosphere in virtually every shot. Like Se7en but without the moisture somehow. I get that vibe here too. It's all unknown at present, but the truth is out there.
