It makes me reflect on Victor Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame. He opines, for quite a  stretch, concerning how buildings/architecture were the means of recording history prior to widespread use of press and printed word. We are definitely being screwed by the digital revolution. Thanks for the photo. It, and the subject are magnificent.

This certainly gives me pause, listening to the narrative of buildings and their architecture. This is such a provocative theatre of ideas, exterior construction, scaffolding of ideas, interior desires, monologues versus cacophony, and the footsteps of the photographer as translator of visual dialects. Nan Ellin edited Architecture of Fear that is concerned with the landscape "shaped by a preoccupation of fear, as apparent in home design, security systems, gated communities, semi-public spaces, zoning regulations, and cyberspace." What is the perspective, the argument of the artist making a photograph of architectural elements? What is the subtext, the allegorical narrative? Architecture and the dendrites of surveillance. Resource: CTRL [SPACE] Rhetorics of Surveillance from Bentham to Big Brother, which "investigates the state of panoptic art at a time when issues of security and civil liberties are on many people's minds." The camera as surrogate eye for surveillance. Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. Antonioni's Blow-Up. Watching and being watched, Yoshiyuki Kokei. Ralph Gibson with his 135mm defining his notion of the "vertical horizon," as he edits buildings from the landscape.

Forgive me, but painterly voices where Pollock in the foreground meets Rothko in the background, whisper from the back room, and yet, your abstract realism has a distinct tone of its own. These seemingly simple square compositions have a complex sense of depth.

My sort of photo shop, I can feel the atmosphere and sense the expectation of picking up a processed roll of film or buying a new lens. Me, I'll take that Nikon Photomic.

Late evening, the world is at rest all is calm and peaceful. Thinking back to some of your recent photographs Philip blue is a colour that threads those in my memory together.

Thank you very much Charles. For some reason I gravitate naturally towards blue, it's definitely my favourite colour. Must be my navy background :D

Brilliant photo. Is that a shutter cable or something else?

I really like this because it keeps my eyes bouncing around looking for meaning and understanding. I see what seems like a squinting angry-looking clown in the cloud, with a dark Einstein hairdo and a Mickey Mouse nose :)

I missed this one before, Really nicely done. It reminds me for some reason of Ikeas catalogue (RIP) and its online sibling. Most of the photos in it have for quite a few years not been photos at all but digitally created images. Basically they just build the rooms in the computer using photos of items and it looks completely real. Well apart from what's outside the windows sometimes. There's occasionally that set-like feeling of a TV studio where a large poster or such is placed outside the fake window to give the appearance of a building. That's not the case here of course, but the effect is really quite cool I think. Plus the exposure is really excellent here, truly well done.

What a lovely photo. I bet this would be thrilling printed large where all the details on the hills in the background could come into their own and mesmerise the eyes.

This is a mini project that's been on my mind for a while — books. I thought of making a separate thread about it, for film photos only of course, but then I realised that it is in this thread that film truly lives at LUF, so I post this photo here. If you have difficulty reading the backs, here's the the original scan.

You might recognise some books that have been mentioned in this thread in the past. If there are three things I love to buy it is 1) flight tickets, 2) wine and whisky, 3) film and books. So many really interesting books have been mentioned in this thread in the past that I just can't keep up but occasionally I'll buy one that seems particularly interesting. I'm also a bit strange (possibly) in that I prefer to buy old, used books where I can. I see it a bit like charity, to give a trusty book a new lease on life and support all the sellers, antiquarians etc who keep them available for posterity.

Perhaps someone else wants to play along and photograph their books, individually, on the shelf etc? Let your imagination roam free :D
