Making Light
The obvious is overlooked. Our baselines aren’t noticeable. Seems and stitiches.
How is it that the most photographed subject among the online film groups is landscape? A term they use without getting to its original meaning. In fact that original meaning is a touchy subject. When everyone photographs the same things, taking on the grandview established by the master — what room remains for their simplistic, simplified, scenic overlook version, but to think in process. Change the process; change your life, or at least keep moving toward the light.
By the light of the moon they rhyme with spoon will their prints come soon
