2/52 : The imaginary weight of time.
Yesterday morning, right after I had woken up, I got up from the bed with a notebook and a pencil in my hands, which hasn't happened in a very long while. The concept for 2/52 had become evident, so I rushed to make a sketch and to write aside a few reminder keywords, with hope to save as much as possible before the whole vision would have shrunk, just like a fading dream, leaving no space for details. Not much later in the day, after some minor attempts at searching and unfortunately often not finding the required artifacts, it already became clear that I would have to make a lot of compromises and improvise on many occasions, where the conditions weren't prone to what I had in mind, if I still wanted to go through with it. The original idea got shredded to bits and pieces eventually and the final result doesn't resemble in most ways the sketches from the notebook, yet it still carries at least a fragment of the initial meaning, so I suppose it will have to do until the time is right for those conditions to be fulfilled and to have a second try at obtaining a closely matching 'yesterday morning' scene unfold.
I had never done such an extensive photo manipulation before and the image above shows obviously and quite painfully just how true that really is and that I am still at the very beginning of the learning curve. I think I managed to discover a few small tricks on the way and I hope I will require access to them soon enough, before they get lost among all the other useless dark corners of my memory.
I would like to thank everyone for such a warm response to my 1/52. It is very appreciated.
Strobist: a window, blinds and three candles. :P
