NOTHING lives there, no snakes, reptiles, scorpions or other critters that can be found in the desert. These folks don't even get close to the Dead Sea water. They know better. There are things called "shit flies," which are bright green flies that bite. They are annoying as hell and have taken their name from the company that they make in villages around the area. I actually got accosted by a swarm of these at a particular area pf the Dead Sea in the middle of the day on one of my visits. They actually filibustered my ability to take the time I really wanted to spend in that area. They can be real bitches during the heat of the day. But at night they probably are lying cozy in some shit somewhere in some village, far from the beaches of the Dead Sea. In the dead of the night it is as peaceful as it can be on those beaches. I didn't sleep on the beach this night - hardly slept at all, actually. But I arrived after my 1.5 hour drive a bit early for dawn and soaked in all the tranquility and silence. Then, as dawn began to ever so slightly protrude over the horizon, the oily glassy water began to glow with deep colors. I was ready with my Hassy 503cw, 80mm Planar and Ektar, with an audience of about a dozen other Israelis who had stayed the night for this moment and were emerging from their sleeping bags. I was metering like a madman trying my best to capture the intense glow from the water. I didn't want to expose too much out of fear that I would wash out the glow. I think this frame struck a reasonable balance. Imaging floating effortlessly in this lukewarm water with this glide path to an epic sunrise as your home theater? 😍♥️🌅 Welcome, dear visitor!

And those counter-weights and the shadow meaning of those words floating in air, the death walk of Spanish influenza on the boards of history. And that one tiny word that whispers its foul practice—pandemic. Again, you balance on the high wire, making the complex look simple, but not so simple. Thank you so much Rog. It is amazing, come to think about it, how much there is that is colorful around you when you become aware of it - and photography undoubtedly puts you in that zone if you let it. I think of myself primarily as a b&w photographer, yet I love to unleash with color from time to time precisely because I find myself noticing different things. And, in noticing color, as you so wisely allude above and illustrate in your ~tyches, one starts to take a greater interest in what the colorful things actually are and the intrinsic (and/or even extrinsic) meanings carried by them. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are continually evolving, Rog, and your techniques look to be advancing, too. Recto Verso and RVII have the appearance of containing a three dimensional image. Perhaps this is in part due to Albers' concepts? I now have his book - which looks to be rather incredible and I can already recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it - but I will take some time to get through it. However the placements in your constructs are inspired, both in terms of geometry and color. And it is especially remarkable that those blacks contain detail. Fantastic work. I hope you have plenty of Color Implosion to continue with the evolution of this intriguing and aesthetically stimulating series. 3 hours ago, Suede said: Thank you, Phil.
