Reconnecting

To pull two points together, to create a friction that cannot be seen, but felt, I would call a negative space.

To come back on my idea on the unified field theory and photo. How do we capture those unseen moments, the science hidden behind the everyday. There is more behind the mass, there is more behind the counterpart....and that is the pull we have with each other.

Negative space has determined our being. From the beginning of time, this space, has held the answer to the outlying components, the space that made the other react, counteract, and make us who we are.

Why is this important in art. It creates life of the mass. It creates the positive. It creates the meaning.

I'm currently researching more ideas on this...and will be photographing more with this idea in mind. Any suggestions are welcome. : )

Ice Cream, 2010

I love the places I end up. I'm a fan of event photography, but a not so secret fan of photographing our days. It may be unusual, or random....but I always see it as something new. I enjoy capturing whats around me. We all love people watching, maybe photography is an enhanced version of that.

People inspire me. What we do, how we grow. Trying to capture the fun in life is hard....because you have to be in the moment. As the viewer, we bring another meaning to the picture without knowing. Yet, pick a spot, try and photograph what it is, you wont be disappointed. And, when you start to move to a different spot, you may find the best lighting.

Attached are photos of my surroundings the other day. Nothing extravagant. But, to me, they make me happy.

Projections

One of the reasons I love art, is the illusion of it. I remember when I first went to art school, and realized that other artists used projectors to draw images. I felt cheated on. I had never considered that before. I had perfected my drawing skills for a reason.....and I began to think, did I need that. With technology these days, it makes it more of a science than an art. I couldn't believe people used projectors, then years later.....I found myself developing the same habit.

Its what photography is coming to be. I have attached two photos, that were true to my camera. However, I had changed the settings, and made them blurry and develop how they are. I enjoy them because they remind me of a painting. Yet, its not a true photo, so I cant speak of it like it is.

Is there any truth in art? Or, do we just use it as an expression of how we feel. And, if the viewer isn't present, can they feel its meaning.

Fields

I am always in search for opposites...my opposite, photos counterparts. It's something unknown to the viewer, and in a weird way, supports the other. I find it interesting in photography. You can take one picture, and switch frames, and find its opposing image ....gives it a whole new feeling. Every counterpart should do this. Ive attached two photos of today,.. of the same space to display this thought. If you had not seen the other, would you stop to question the remainders validity.

How much truth can a photo hold. Maybe, we as the viewer, choose to see things that we are accustomed to....but we can also choose to see it new. Its changing an outlook, merging architecture with abstraction, ...its playing with the idea of color fields, love it. More to come on this idea, soon.
