Chiaroscuro

And other musings on Cangiante, Sfumato, and Unione

Heading in from Elburn for a day at the museum.

It’s Saturday, and Elise is at a scrapbooking event. What to do? Of course, take the train into the city.

I mostly Ride the Rock, and I sometimes take the Southwest service that runs near the house, but it only runs Monday through Friday. On occasion, I drive over to Flossmoor to take the IC (or Metra Electic), which is the line I took as a kid. So when I get a chance to ride on a different line and come into a different station, that’s all the excuse I need. So Elburn to Ogilvie OH BOY!!!

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
