Chiaroscuro

And other musings on Cangiante, Sfumato, and Unione

A frosty change in the air.

 Halloween in Chicago. Only the hearty will venture out. But think of the bounty that awaits those committed trick-or-treaters. . . . .  I sure don’t want the candy hanging around.

Arrr, LOAD UP ye young pirates!… and spidermen, witches, avengers, etc, etc, etc.

Elise and I decided to have our meeting in front of the fire today with wood I brought in from outside.  We accidentally woke up a wasp that was trying to hide out in the woods.  Luckily, he made a ‘wasp line’ for the back door and was released to his fate.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. – Aaron Siskind, 1955
