About windows and lines

it's subtle things that make a photograph worth looking at. in this case it's the way we can't see the bottoms of the trees. They bloom up from the houses themselves, and create an archway over the space between the houses. This becomes the emptiness at the center of the photo.... the Chi of the photo.

aaauuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Shake it up

of course we've seen many dog shaking photos but what strikes me about this one is the dog's face, so human, so wise. And also, so tranquil. the stillness within the motion. this photo is an illustration of Zen enlightenment.

There is so much that we share

Let's forget about time. We can barely see it anyway. I guess if I look really hard I can says that it's 8 minutes after 6, so we are either kept after school or getting ready for the day ahead. Either way, we're at the end of it, one end or another. Just as we are at the tip of this child in the corner, who darkly considers the world behind him... the outsized Carrollingian rabbit who contemplates eating the child who has survived all those Wild Things. He'll probably escape as he is already almost out of frame and the rabbit seems busy dominating the photograph. Perhaps he will chew on those chairs instead. Funny how little information we need to know those are chairs, which then makes us think not of the chairs but of the kids not sitting in them. They have already escaped the rabbit (the alternative is too terrible to think on). It's a small world, but it's his. The power of this photo is how empty it is, how unsolved and unresolved it is, both in its story and its geometry, whose perspective busts out of frame. The eye of the rabbit is the eye of a storm.

King Street

Comment:
some of us come from kings and we don't even know it. many kings were promiscuous and created lots of uncredited offspring. That regality, that divine privilege, spreads across genetic code like wildfire, and now and then raises its bejeweled cobra head when the light hits it just right. A good photographer can find it in the face and hands.

I'm hanging this in my fantasy gallery. the short reason is that it's just so beautiful.

I love a good drawing of a cat, and this is 3. To really draw a cat well, you must lose the cat. I'm hanging this in my fantasy gallery.

State of Mind

these look like policemen falling down on the job, but falling so slowly they don't realize they're falling. so they look around officiously, fully convinced they are serving and protecting

While You Slept

sometimes you only get a glimpse of what you need, like a nap instead of a sleep. suddenly it's the middle of the night and there is no one to talk to

ok I've never seen a midflight bird shake photo. elegant and awkward at the same time.

Gesture (a dog's reach should exceed its grasp)

I sometimes feel like doing this with my camera, so the photo is satisfying. I hope this turned out alright for you.

Two worlds side by side

Comment:
only two worlds? you wish, kemosabe. I count at least 5. one of which is a pleasing abstract with big comfortable shapes.
