a year of crows

Posted on Posted in A Symbol Life, as written, overnight notes, picture post

The redheads, the red breasts, are back sitting on rocks in the front garden . she, wearing brown, is warming on the small round white rocks. riverbed eggs.

a year ago the widows were made. today one is getting a housemate. next door is moving to a single apartment.

I couldn’t always hear her clearly .. she spoke with purpose –I never always understood the intent, the sounds they make ..

say the words your first thought as you thought them, then rearrange them .. The principle of take the photograph you see when you first see it before taking the better one ..

a mix of “chroma” set, church set, from the persistent set: Wo ist Tejas — from the long “in-process” edit-table.

some are alternates, none of these are meant as alternations, nor alterations.

Q: Are these different photographs?

As impression changes, is that a different photograph. I frequently make several impressions of a situation.During my film years, learning that multiple exposures provided more darkroom possibilities–such as combination printing.

As thought experiment (better if you do this with film) expose an underexposed street scene of light toned moving people. Combine that with a normally exposed scene… The movement will become a ghost image in the final print. Ghost won’t contribute to shadows …of course, layers and blending is a comparable “drop-in” “drop-out” solution to the “shoot-thru” glass, ghost shots that occurred frequently enough not to be a surprise in other eras.
