Direction photos on Flickr

One of the photographers that I enjoy following within the Flicker labyrinth is André Fantelin who glides between streets and museums finding perceptions and re-perception by chance fascination. A precise photographer of colour and exposure who takes the trouble to keep his captor fully parallel with the main element of the subject - putting many like me to shame. There is a term made popular by the philosopher Walter Benjamin which is to be a 'flâneur' - which I define as to have an "objective sans direction" - a oblique method with very precise results. Always varied and always interesting (and a photographer who is tolerant of prehistory and adventures of text and logic), so much so that he dedicated a fantastic shot to my prehistoric photostream. Wanting to redress the balance of equality, I spent quite an amount of time trying to work out what his homage might look like, with this being the result. The image is not layered and comes with the simplest salt and pepper of post production.

When we were last in Kamloops, BC, I drove past various fields that were about to be plowed. The next day, it occurred to me that there might be an opportunity to capture those who work the fields as well. Sure enough, upon my return, one was out harvesting his crops.

I remember thinking that the lines in the field would make an interesting arial shot. To compensate, I stood high to show some, but instead placed my attention on their direction. When the tractor entered the shot with its kick of dust, the shot was complete.

Sometimes we all need guidance. This is stone cairn No. 46 showing me the direction to No. 47 (of a total of 140) and a safe way down the mountain. In the background you see a stretcher, that may become handy if the situation demands it.....
