Advertisement Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Hi Ernest, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ernest Posted September 26, 2018 Share #53622 Posted September 26, 2018 Holy crap Rog! This is positively cinematic. Or should that be cinemagic? An assemblage tour de force! I'm fascinated, too, in observing what the slivers of green color add to the last few works you've presented. Stunning. Well, Phil, as Oscar Wilde was famous for saying (and living), "Nothing succeeds like excess." Carried away, I beached on an island somewhere between Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" and Martin Scorses's "Hugo," both pulling the strings on 18th century automata, mechanical puppets engineered with clockwork precision to replicate human action. I started with the shot of the machinery in the bunker and imagined it could be the hub of a machine, perhaps "a machine from the gods" in the tradition of Greek drama, which was the device used to resolve the dramatic predicament of characters facing dire conflict. What could be more dire than the oppression of a labyrinthine bunker that in today's society of surveillance is ironically little sanctuary. The Image Maker, then, becomes the flight to sanctuary on the wings of artistic spirit, the Image Maker, or camera. For the composition, I used primes of 3 and 5: 5 panels, 3 black-and-white landscape images, 5 Redbird landscapes, and 3 "slivers," as you noted, which I regard as punctuation lines that accent the piece as a reminder that this is not real but a fiction that deconstructs itself. Oh, yes, there is one tab of red that starts the Image Maker that you'll notice will at times change the beginning landscape into another landscape by aesthetic design. The only colors are red and green, complementary, green to begin, reading left to right, and red as a cautionary accent. All right, over the top, I know, but that's the circus for you. I always marched in lockstep with the chant that there was no such thing as too much Starbucks. I warrant very few have seen behind the green Oz curtain at Wetzlar, so here you have the unredacted glimpse of what really goes on in the Barnack Bureau. Deus Ex Machina, the Image Maker Polyptych (11 images) Cheers, Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Posted September 27, 2018 Share #53630 Posted September 27, 2018 The only Crime here is gratuitous violence against blinkered vision and the only appropriate Punishment is to see this work hung! In a gallery! Ha, ha! To be sure, you are the Archduke of Alliteration, acclaimed for your sprezzatura in the art of linguistic gymnastics. No blinkered vision in the bunkers. Oh, "Metropolis!" You have done ADOX well, the implosion resounding, perhaps with an echo of Russian Constructivism. The composition coming out of the Wright shop always piques aesthetic interest and is the very definition of sprezzatura, to perform the difficult with assured nonchalance. You include the non-descript building at the left frame to create the first square of light in the upper left, the most privileged real estate for reading, since in western society, we read a page first from the top left. The composition then becomes a series of concentric and interlocking squares and rectangles with the light value moving from light to shade at the right frame. And the fact that it is a steel landscape under construction (not to be confused with Constructivism) with only one worker speaks to man's industry. The reds of the Liberty lift and doors gives a tasty snap. And, then, there's "Polystyrene" to continue that minimalist, dare I say Bauhaus, signature. You have rendered a three-dimensional space into a nearly two-dimensional graphic design study of light a dark values. So interesting. The asphalt at first doesn't read as asphalt, and the curbing doesn't read as brick or concrete but as simple lines dividing space. The only give away to perspective are the pavers at the bottom of the frame. Then, there is that enigmatic silhouetted patch in the middle of the corrugated aluminum, so the conversation starts. Cheers, Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Rog Thank you sincerely, Rog. I now have a new favourite word - Sprezzatura - studied carelessness! And here was I, when at school, the one accused by a teacher of indulging in sesquipedalian portentousness! The Adox color implosion is (was ) a unique, brilliant film. I think the closest available now is Cinestill 800T - I'll have to try a few rolls of that again. Although not for a while - yesterday I invested $100 in pre-ordering four (yes just 4!) rolls of the new Ektachrome, which I am looking forward to trying out.

Would be great to see it (and others) bigger. Thanks, Marc Good stuff, Rog. You are getting really creative - it is very inspiring! Thank you for the compliments. The 510-Pyro experiment is proving to be very interesting. It seems, to my eyes, the most intriguing aspect is the work the developer does in providing very subtle tonality in areas that, in the back of my mind, while I am taking the photograph, I fear are going to be blown or blocked; the flower in Parasite is an example of this. It is an absorbing pursuit. I am grateful to have a place where I can share the results. The more I participate in this forum/thread, the more I realize it is about the most civil and interesting part of my day.......Outside of family and local friends. Best, Wayne 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The salt bed was particularly exotic looking there, and the polarizing lens was able to cut through the reflections and showcase some of that terrain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
