My wife still loves to get flowers - even today 😉 Maybe I fell out of time...

I know, wrong place to discuss, to many old white men...(double exposure Rolleicord) - so: just flowers without cause

Hello dear film community members 😀

It's been a while for me to join this thread and as I have seen in the last days, a lot has been shown here since I last visited. In the meantime I also did some photography, bought new and old gear, did some prints in my darkroom (what a joy!) and also tried out color negative development in C41. As some of you might have seen on Instagram, I bought a Leica R7 that has obviously seen something in her life. The lens of the 50 Summicron looks as if someone tried to polish it with sand paper, but astonishingly the pictures coming out of this camera aren't that bad at all. Here an example with an attached Elpro 2 macro lens that I have chosen for todays International women's day:

Is that a DR Summicron? I recall reading, somewhere, it may be the sharpest of Summicrons. Beautiful photo.

 

Best,

Way back in the 1980s I happened to catch an exhibition of Irving Penn's monumental platinum prints at Irving Penn Retrospective, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. These exquisite prints left an indelible impression on me - they were just breathtaking, both in their scale, and their beauty - in fact in every way. A couple of years later I was studying photography back in Melbourne, looking for a portfolio subject for assessment, and his Detritus series came to mind, so I (er, gulp) plagiarized:

Nikon F801, 105mm macro, Agfapan 25

I propose this is re-visioning, rather than plagiarizing, which artists are famous for doing in any case, not to mention Rauschenberg who has elevated the art of erasure in honor of de Kooning. But this photo artifact is mystifying; it plays with negative and positive space, wires drawing a fanciful form, a two-dimensional  sculptural abstraction. It is people to exhibit a, but what does exhibit? We can conjure up the spirit of Irving Penn and his Detritus salutations. Is this “waste,“ an erosion of its former self? Is it simply a fragment that beckons reconstruction, form and purpose? Does this metal artifact have voice enough to narrate echoes from the past to betray its future? Is it a footnote commemorating ruin? Consider Thomas Cole’s series of five paintings titled “The Course of Empire,” an artistic warning against the excesses of Jacksonian administration, and Ed Ruscha’s contemporary revisioning with his own “Course of Empire,“ five diptychs that define a chilling prophecy of our current pandemic. But this is what artists do as “the antennae of civilization.” The apocalypticism of Duerer’s 15th century (fresh out of umlauts this week) thrust into the 21st-century of Trent Parke’s “The Crimson Line.” Yes, Phil, your photo-detritus conjures a course of reconstruction. I pray you will open your hidden files and show us where this leads.

Thank you, Wayne! The lens used is a standard Summicron-R lens. I know and own the Summicron-M dual range with the separate goggles. Never heard about a version of this lens for the Leica R system.

Call it inattentiveness, or in my case, stupidity. :)

Best,

Wayne
