Inspired by the photography of Robert Adams.

Separation. Displacement. Asunder.

A boundary. A union. A contradiction.

 

Diremption is incongruity and antithesis in agreement; two planes in the same space separated by form, shape, color, depth, meaning; each a stilled moment in its own time joined in common boundary by a contrary moment, like fingerprints on a window, unique, separate, together.

One Short Sleep XII (Adam and Eve)

 

If you thought the previous image was creepy...

 

In this old part of the cemetery the headstones are covered in lichen and badly weathered. On some of them, peculiar "demonic" figures have emerged from the dirt, such as the one you see here in the foreground. When I began processing this image I was surprised to see a second figure appear in the background. It seems I had been photobombed by a ghost :-)

 

Both the foregound and the background are the rear sides of headstones. On a later visit I read their epitaphs: the background was female and the foreground male. So I have come to think of this shot as Adam and Eve.

Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!

Detail shot of the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester, England.

 

The building was erected in 2001. The architect, Daniel Libeskind, wanted visitors to feel the unsettling nature of war. The building is intentionally disconcerting in the way that it looks and feels, both inside and out, the idea being that war and conflict should, in a perfect world, be nevermore.

 

The architect also designed the Jewish Museum in Berlin.

#LookingCloseonFriday

 

Am still learning things on my little iPhoneSE2. But not happy with the battery life. Am thinking of moving up. Does anyone have a suggestion for a 15 or 16 model that is not too large or too heavy?

I thought that these three 'Reimaginings', two of which I haven't shown on Flickr before, look quite good together.

 

‘Reimaginings’ are my square-cropped images taken of marks, weathered paint, and rust seen by me in the urban environment which appeal to me as abstract shapes and forms. Some of these photographs are segments of faded and much repainted and over-painted graffiti surfaces, paint spills and general weathering.
