silence: snack bar

The Golden Ration has been around since the ancients, the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops, the Greek Parthenon and the recent discovery of the multidimensional Quasi-crystal all evidence this. The Golden Ratio found throughout our universe is defined mathematically as (√5±1)/2:1 giving little phi or big Phi.
As the Ancient Greeks would have it this proportion was a canon of truth, bringing harmony. As we are part of our universe they saw the ratio as built within us.
Modern thought is adverse to notions of truth, thus film has escaped the tethers of the Golden Ratio as photography is very much a modern technology.
By bringing the Golden Ratio to film we have a mechanism where the ordinary, the mundane, the banal and the trite seen around us can be recorded with an elevation usually reserved for the more revered matters.
The very nature of still film, digital or otherwise, brings with it the silence of the deaf – perhaps this silence set within the Golden Ratio could give a tremendous incite into the otherwise innocuous universe around us.
This late night frame explores that notion within an atmosphere that stuff just isn't always clear.
Fujifilm X-E1 35mm f1.4 frame processed in DXO FilmPack 3 and Paintshop Pro x6. Golden Section film frame drawn in Sketchup then processed with the original frame. Thanks for the interest. :-D
