Chiaroscuro

And other musings on Cangiante, Sfumato, and Unione

Fun with the Old

 My brother-in-law, Jon, was in town a few weeks ago, and I asked if he would sit for a portrait with my big camera.  He, honestly, didn’t have a choice if he wanted to get to the airport on time…  I’m having fun with the slower pace that the large format requires to produce an image. Thanks, Jon, for indulging me.  Im currently on the lookout for those who interested in helping me with my little project with my big camera, let me know if you would be open to a session.  Let me know by emailing me at [email protected]

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
