Occasionally
I have a day or run of days when everything feels like it is on fire. Last
weekend into early in the week was like that; everything was cooking. I had an
idea (always a dangerous thing!) that had been my head a long time-- to use
bits of the photographed urban landscape as part of collaged drawings with which I'm experimenting. The
time seemed right, so I headed out.
Although I
shoot mostly film these days, here digital seemed like a better choice; I could
try lots of things, do it fast, and without the expense of film or developing.
I decried last week about how the more polished parts of town didn’t work well
for me, but lo and behold! This week’s shot just appeared while I wasn’t
looking.
My eye is
always drawn to representations of the human form, be they commercial or purely
aesthetic. Like so many instances, my timing was pure dumb luck; this retailer
had decided it was time to usher in the fall fashions. Also, as so often
happens to me, there ended up being a number of odd things in the shot that I
had not consciously seen at the point of capture. This is one of the beautiful
things that helps keep me at it: visual bonuses.
