the thing itself
April 23, 2010
time must be the thing itself. at this moment in my thought processes, anyway. what if it actually stood still? there wouldn’t be a single thing different–no moment before, or after. isn’t that the concern of the photograph? the split-second in between before and after?
in between
i was thinking of gerhard richter’s oil on canvas “two candles” when photographing the hourglass. perhaps it was the shadow and light of “two candles” that prompted “when” I shot the hourglass–the light and shadow. i don’t recall, now. and it was only yesterday i made the photographs.
i think the hourglass needs to be printed in a landscape orientation to represent the continuum. but, then, the light needs to move vertically. mayhap the light will be good again through the north window today.

review
April 23, 2010
i reviewed the prints I’ve made thus far. cohesive for the most part, with an occasional interloper upsetting what appears to be a leaning towards landscape. obviously, i need multiple portfolios to cover the different styles/categories–unless i consider the portraits as epithelial landscapes… or, maybe, there’s an idea.
crap! now i’m confused.
