In its barest essence cosmic resonance is a theory of simultaneous, non‑linear causality. It posits that events taking place at the same time, but separated in space, may exert a subtle effect on one another.

Small waves bounce back off the steep slope of the beach, and when they meet the next incoming wave, there is resonance. Fog is rolling in, blurring out the horizon.

Whilst standing in Barbara Hepworth's sculpture garden, pondering on what to shoot next, I saw this pool of water glinting out of the corner of my eye. It actually resides on top of a square, stone plinth which supports a bronze sculpture called 'Francessa's Thinking' (imagine a 4ft tall, elongated Tic Tac on end with a similar looking hole cut through its body). The stone plinth is so perfectly flat and level that when it rains the water forms a shallow pool about 5mm deep, which is held in place at the edges by the wonder of surface tension, only if the water is disturbed by the wind or other external force do droplets escape down the sides, otherwise it's like a liquid mirror, reflecting the world around it, which gives a fortunate observer the rare chance to get a totally unique perspective on the sculpture.
What fascinated me in particular were the circular ripples of movement across the pool's surface and how they ricocheted back from the edge, merging with the original ripples. At first I thought it was caused by some insect having a paddle, or drowning, but in fact it was the gentle breeze blowing from the other side of the sculpture. I just had to get a shot of those ripples! Crouching low on the nearby steps that looked down on the plinth I raised my camera to my eye and waited…and waited…and waited..then, just as I moved the camera from my eye the breeze blew, the ripples rippled, and then were gone in the briefest of seconds…and I missed my shot. Bugger. This little game went on for a good 15 minutes and during that time I took 8 shots; 4 had ripples, 4 didn't. Of the 4 that did only one caught the moment I'd wanted to catch, this is it.
In the end, though, as pleased as I am with the final image, it was the waiting that I enjoyed most and got the most from. Crouching there in silence amongst the plants and trees, watching the play of light and wind on the water, a deep calm slowly suffused my body and mind. My attention became so focussed on watching the still pool, waiting for when the fickle breeze would choose to flit across its surface, that the constant mental chit chat in my head quietened down to barely a whisper. Time seemed to stop and my senses became heightened (or more likely my silent mind allowed me the rare opportunity to be truly aware of them), the smell of the damp earth and subtle flower scents filled my nostrils, the bird song filled my ears, the light and shadows danced inside my eyes, my bare skin felt the gentlest waft of the cool breeze drift across it… then, taking the camera away from my eye I just looked at the pool and the reflection of the sculpture clear and sharp within it...and it was in that moment, that perfect storm of empty mind, heightened senses, flora and fauna, light and movement, stillness and silence, that I finally, at long last, truly 'got' Barbara Hepworth's sculptures, and I 'got' what she had done here in this sculpture garden, why she insisted on putting her nature inspired art back into nature. To use a word that the science fiction writer Robert Heinlein coined in his book Stranger in a Strange Land, I 'grokked' it. – to 'grok' means 'to understand something profoundly by intuition and/or empathy'. What that understanding is I can't put into words, it's at a gut/soul level, words are inadequate, limited. 'It' resides in the quiet spaces within me, and stays there...no matter how hard I try and drag it out into the world of words and thoughts, which for a lover of words and thoughts is incredibly frustrating! What I love about the whole moment, what tickles me daft, is that the actual experience of 'grokking' was totally accidental, it was an experience that I've tried to induce deliberately many times over the years and failed at more times than not. So, once again it appeared only when I stopped trying to make 'it' happen. Ha, I never learn! C'est la vie, eh! :-)

30 Days of Perception: Day 5
I feel resonance in the early mornings before the rest of the world wakes up. My favourite moment of the day is dawn.
I took this photos this morning at 7:04 from the top of my road. I feel re-born as I feel the spirit of the early morning surrounding me and lift my eyes to the sky and the mountain tips!

My entry for the Build your own weapons contest.
Inspired by the gunblades from Final Fantasy.
comes in waves too:)
Speaking of waves...
I've noticed the new wave of stickers storming...
I know as well that leaving stickers is a habit for many and as every habit - difficult to stop..
So I'll be patient and will keep repeating - If You came here, to this page for some reason, DON"T LEAVE TRASH HERE!!!!
I do appreciate your comments, your faves and your attention very much, but PLEASE be kind and keep this place stickerfree!
Thank You!
The pot asks for certain sounds before it will send back a resonance - a selective microphone?
The film used my Pentax K3's mic, and with other compressions and gates the sound is limited. Despite this, it can be seen that there is a qualitative change to the presence of the voice. Were the pot to have been a dense neolithic pot it may effect the quantity and quality of the resonance and sustain.
Whilst long and deep chants seem to benefit from this type of pot, I did not find a willing soprano for additional tests. I found that deep breaths, wide aperture lung release and rounded lips worked best, with the resonance often unwilling to show itself. Once the pot starts to resound, the effect can be maintained by descending semi tones. Notes that are too far apart negate the effect. Here a certain length of note and chant seems to be favourised. 'Drone' notes of some bagpipes and simple string instruments may be an equivalent, with melody building from this resounding heartfelt bass. Anything from pre 'Gregorian chants' to choral lyrical cycles may have benefited from an additional sound that could be felt.
The angle of voice is important, as is the flow of air. I'm sure a qualified singer could improve on my comic book Henryk Górecki, but the reverberation is clear to hear and that was the point of the test. It needs to be made clear that this is not a projection of what neolithic music may have sounded like - simply a resonance test.
For the test I used some ancient string found in an antique fair. The string of the commercialised and unused bobine was sold with knots every few meters - very cool.
The line of holes for strings was at an angle on the original pot that served as a model, and I expected the pot to naturally tilt towards the vocal. In truth, this made little impact and I simply found myself grouping strings into twos and threes and affording tilt and position by making adjustments on these. Thus, a pot with a flat line of side holes could easily be made to tilt and I expect that the diagonal was simply another example of measured experimentation from the mid neolithic.
For this simulation I found a glass bowl of the same approximative size and shape as a Chasseen bowl from the middle neolithic. I spayed the glass with some photographers black (normally reserved for the insides of old cameras) and buffed with some pigments and binder from my studio. The tubes are simply glued with an araldite.

You may be wondering about the title of this shot. Well for me this location "resonates" with my inner being. My life has always centered around water and the sea. This was the beach I played on as a child, where I learned to swim and later in the wider bay to canoe, sail, and scuba dive. My working life was spent at sea and my spare time boat/land fishing in these waters. All this time my interest in photography was developing and this location always enchanted me but resisted my attempts to get the best from it. I always knew the images I wanted were there but for some reason never managed to pull them off. One day though it all clicked together and finaly I cracked it. I can sit quietly at this location and hear all the sounds and feel all the wonderful experiences I had here as a child filling my mind and transcending the years. These long exposure images more than others seem to slow down time and reinforce those memories.

Inspiration for this image's title was drawn while listening to Daniel Bernard Roumain's "Etudes 4 Violin & Electronix" album. One of my favorite.
Some light and silhouette play here using the old Tokina 11-16mm @16mm. I didn't think this was possible or even worth it until I recently threw it on my FX D750 to see. I've really missed it's sharpness in contrast and crispy deliciousness. Shout out to LED Eddie for initially bringing this lens and it's sheer brilliance to my attention. Still one of my all-time favorites. I wish my Nikon 14-24 had the ability to use a Filter...

One SB-700 full power with remote trigger strapped to my lower back, a Coast G20 hung from a "necklace" on my chest shooting through a lens-mounted Polaroid 4-point star filter, Coast HP17 bungeed to a branch behind me and another SB-700 full power at 12:00 behind that to add some more light in the background.
Rhythms & resonance-songs of Nature in Rajasthan,
There is an ineffable rhythm; a heart-felt, soul-sensed percussion beat in the air, melodic echoes in the breezes, finger-snapping, foot-stomping verve in the waters and a susurrations whisper in the sands. Even when all actual musical voices, instruments, feet, anklets and drums are actually silent, there is a constant awareness that at any given time and moment, all of these can burst into life and drown the senses in a whirling kaleidoscope of sound, color and movement.
