Chiaroscuro

And other musings on Cangiante, Sfumato, and Unione

So, what’s in the trunk?

My good friend Brian told me he had something special he thought I would like. He wasn’t kidding! He had received this view camera kit from a client about 25 years ago and hadn’t used it much. He knew I was into view cameras and he thought I might put it to some use. He has not used the camera much since he got it and from the looks of the case, it probably wasn’t touched for 15-20 before that…. So, would you like to see what’s in the case? Let me know if you’d like to see in the comments… I could do one of those unboxing videos.

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
