Having watched the fascinating William Eggleston in the Real World directed by Michael  Almeyreda that Rog mentioned a few posts ago in response to Antonio's excellent American storefront, I thought I'd search and see if I have an "inner Eggleston" shining through in my "morgue". This is about the closest I think I got:

Wall, Fitzroy 2014

Contax G2, 28mm Biogon, TLA 200, Portra 400

Well, I keep coming back to this, gnawing at the circus in my head as it does. This composition is intricate, seemingly the casual chaos of materials that washes up on the shoreline of a painter's studio, or so I would like to fictionalize. The current conceit is that chaotic systems evidence patterns, which calls for a reconsideration of the very notion of chaos not being so chaotic, after all. We have the seven repeated painted panels, kind of like corrugated aluminum, splashed and spray painted in the spirit of Pollock or early Reinhardt abstraction, offset with the torn fiber board in the very interesting right half of the frame. Glad you pulled this out of the morgue for some new life.

Cheers,
Rog

Thank you so much, Rog. Your astute eye has once again hit upon the facts of the matter - I do believe this detritus propped against the wall was indeed from an artist's clearout - who but an artist would arrange their rubbish so artfully? This picture was from a wall nearby, and I would imagine that they are probably related:

Nice, Rog.  I am seeing a rising sun that is reflecting over the field.  Still haven't identified the yellow rectangle on the bottom though! 

There was a to-die-for sale on cadmium yellow and I just couldn’t pass up four bolts of it.  I still have enough left over for an ottoman and two pillows with giant buttons inspired by Kelly Hoppen.

 Yes, this is so cool that you included evidence on the top edge of the frame that this is a color shot of a black-and-white subject. Something that nudges the needle on my amp meter. 

BTW I am skeptical that the artist arranged the “Rubbish” so artistically, rather it is your astute eye that selected this important detail, a valid composition in and of itself, something that Eggleston or Bartos might have considered.

Hi all. I've asked this in the M forum with no responses. I haven't posted since the forum revamp. Is it still possible to post photos through a link from my server? If so I don't see how... what am I missing?

 

Thanks

This is an awesome one, James.  A family album cover for sure.  And should be on the list for the 2019 Christmas card, although I wouldn't give it the nod just yet

It is actually the Rollei 35LED with the Triotar 40mm f/3.5, probably the least favoured lens. Manufactured in Taiwan.

Thanks for the nice comment.

It is a really nice picture - no matter what the lens - so the comment is well earned. I did notice that, closed down a bit, the triotars resolution is significantly improved vs. wide open - at least on my version.
