Okay, so here are two studies that I have worked up for my Arizona landscape. The B+W one suggests a sort of retaining wall in the continuous conception of the space, or the top image as a painting within a painting, resting on a ledge. And no, that is not a dog turd, it's supposed to be a piece of petrified wood.
The second image gives up on the idea of continuous space, and let's the two images just collide for what they are, with some obvious narrative possibilities (archeological strata, layering, erosion of time, man made imprint, etc.). Any feedback is appreciated and welcome.
Hope you are both well, and Happy Belated Birthday greetings, Mike! I like the new shots, they somehow remind me of those high res shots from the Moon, where there is a sense of the extraordinary in these direct, discovered moments. The B+W really throws them into a timeless context, and I really like how open they become. I guess that it shows me how much I have grown dependent on the identity of color to drive my thoughts about it (landscape).
okay, now I am rambling, and I need to go prep for class. Caio, talk with you both soon I hope.
