Deze opname is een persoonlijke studie in clair-obscur, een klassieke techniek waarin licht en donker met elkaar in dialoog treden. Ik wilde hier niet alleen een portret maken, maar vooral de sfeer vastleggen van verstilling: een moment waarin iemand verdiept raakt in een boek, enkel verlicht door het flakkerende licht van een kaars.
Het spel van licht en schaduw tekent de contouren van het gezicht en de handen. Het laat niet alles zien, maar suggereert des te meer. Voor mij gaat deze foto over intimiteit, over de kracht van stilte, en over hoe licht verhalen kan vertellen zonder woorden.

Oefening in clair-obscur, geïnspireerd door barokke schilderkunst, maar vertaald naar mijn eigen fotografische taal

A-Z through the DSM IVr
I: Insomnia
Insomnia is most often defined by an individual's report of sleeping difficulties. While the term is sometimes used in sleep literature to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, insomnia is often defined as a positive response to either of two questions: "Do you experience difficulty sleeping?" or "Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?"
Thus, insomnia is most often thought of as both a sign and a symptom that can accompany several sleep, medical, and psychiatric disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. One definition of insomnia is "difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep, or nonrestorative sleep, associated with impairments of daytime functioning or marked distress for more than 1 month."
Insomnia can be classified as transient, acute, or chronic.
Transient insomnia lasts for less than a week. It can be caused by another disorder, by changes in the sleep environment, by the timing of sleep, severe depression, or by stress. Its consequences - sleepiness and impaired psychomotor performance - are similar to those of sleep deprivation.
Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of less than a month.
Chronic insomnia lasts for longer than a month. It can be caused by another disorder, or it can be a primary disorder. Its effects can vary according to its causes. They might include muscular fatigue, hallucinations, and/or mental fatigue; but people with chronic insomnia often show increased alertness. Some people that live with this disorder see things as if they are happening in slow motion, wherein moving objects seem to blend together. Can cause double vision.
Not as good as yesterday's picture but I'm just lucky I did a picture at all...not really in the mood for anything today.

Western Corsetry - Calculated Recklessness: The intersection of rigid structure and fluid form, captured in a moment of breathless tension.
My Website | My 500px | My Facebook
I had half a day to spare yesterday, and it looked like offering the most promising conditions for photography before Friday, so I took a chance on an afternoon back at Birmingham.
As the forecast predicted, the sun was very much in and out (in fact, much more in than out for the first few hours, and when it was out there was invariably very little going on). However, what for me was very much the star movement took place in some truly stunning - if highly-improbable-looking just 30 seconds earlier - light.

A dramatic nighttime scene captures a small, artificial waterfall cascading over textured rocks, dramatically lit by a single spotlight. Lush tropical foliage, including palm fronds and succulents, frames the composition, creating deep shadows that contrast with the brightly illuminated water and stone. The foreground reveals a paved path and parking curb, suggesting this tranquil oasis is part of a landscaped resort or garden entrance.
The sun made an all too brief appearance today on Michigan Avenue in Chicago making for some really dramatic lighting. After a few minutes it was gone again. Taken with my iPhone.

I took this photo during my trip to Belize this past December. We had to wake up hella early to catch a ferry back to the mainland from Ambergris Caye. Watching the sun come up from the water taxi was nothing less than stunning!

A dramatic silhouette of a tall, ornate tower rises against a vibrant sunset sky, its architectural details obscured by shadow. The scene is framed by dark, leafy tree branches in the foreground, creating a natural vignette that draws the eye to the glowing clouds and the sun's last rays peeking through. The contrast between the deep blues of the twilight sky and the warm golden light on the clouds creates a moody, atmospheric urban landscape.

Under the hush of a winter sky, the field is both stage and silence. All eyes rest on one boy, a single figure beneath the floodlights, shouldering the quiet weight of the moment. Behind him, the team waits. Before him, the dark stretches long. And the ball...waits to be lifted into flight by courage.

A patchwork of remaining snow highlighted by a bright interval as the clouds break on the hillside above Newsham, North Yorkshire, as seen from Hutton Hall farm, Teesdale
I cannot say exactly when it happened.
Perhaps long before I became aware of it.
The city was only beginning to wake up.
Novara still carried that suspended atmosphere of early morning, when the streets seem to belong more to silence than to people. I was walking without truly searching for anything, letting my eyes choose the direction, as I always do.
Then I looked up.
Between the motionless buildings of the city, a fracture had opened in the sky.
The clouds looked torn from within, as if something had carved the light with an invisible blade. Birds circled around that opening in restless movements, as though they already knew something was about to cross through it.
And not long after, he appeared.
I saw him sitting between stone and shadow, as if he had always belonged there.
Yet something about him did not belong to that place, or perhaps to that time.
A figure suspended between different eras.
Chains, worn fabrics, metal, symbols, a sword held in his hands like the last fragment of a distant memory. He did not look like a man in costume. He looked like someone who had survived another world.
For a brief moment, I had the absurd feeling that the fracture in the sky had allowed something through.
Not a warrior in the ancient sense of the word, but a wandering presence, lost between dimensions that no longer align.
And yet there was no violence in his eyes.
Only a strange calmness, almost melancholic. The kind carried by those who have crossed too much time to still belong to a single place.
The city kept moving around him without noticing.
People passed by. Stones remained still. Facades watched in silence.
But I saw him.
And that is the moment when photography stops being an aesthetic search.
It becomes testimony.
Because certain apparitions last only a few moments.
Then the sky closes again.
The light changes.
And the world returns to pretending that nothing ever happened.
Non saprei dire con precisione in quale istante sia successo.
Forse molto prima che me ne accorgessi.
La città si stava appena svegliando.
Novara aveva ancora quell’aria sospesa delle prime ore del mattino, quando le strade sembrano appartenere più al silenzio che agli uomini. Camminavo senza cercare davvero qualcosa, lasciando che fossero gli occhi a decidere la direzione, come faccio sempre.
Poi ho alzato lo sguardo.
Tra le architetture immobili della città si era aperta una fenditura nel cielo.
Le nuvole sembravano spezzate dall’interno, come se qualcosa avesse inciso la luce con una lama invisibile. Gli uccelli giravano attorno a quello squarcio con movimenti irregolari, inquieti, quasi sapessero che qualcosa stava per attraversarlo.
E infatti non passò molto tempo.
Lo vidi comparire poco dopo, seduto tra pietra e ombra, come se fosse sempre stato lì.
Ma c’era qualcosa che non apparteneva a quel luogo, o forse a quel tempo.
Una figura sospesa tra epoche diverse.
Catene, stoffe consumate, metallo, simboli, una spada stretta tra le mani come ultimo frammento di una memoria lontana. Non sembrava un uomo travestito. Sembrava qualcuno sopravvissuto a un altro mondo.
Per un attimo ebbi la sensazione assurda che quella fenditura nel cielo avesse lasciato passare qualcosa.
Non un guerriero nel senso antico del termine, ma una presenza errante, smarrita tra dimensioni che non coincidono più.
Eppure nei suoi occhi non c’era violenza.
Solo una calma strana, quasi malinconica. La stessa di chi ha attraversato troppo tempo per appartenere ancora a un luogo preciso.
La città continuava a vivere attorno a lui senza accorgersene.
Le persone passavano. Le pietre restavano immobili. Le facciate osservavano mute.
Io invece lo vedevo.
Ed è in quell’istante che la fotografia smette di essere ricerca estetica.
Diventa testimonianza.
Perché certe apparizioni durano pochi minuti.
Poi il cielo si richiude.
La luce cambia.
E il mondo torna a fingere che non sia successo nulla.

On the right is the Royal Castle. The near left is the fortified brick city wall, with little left. Zygmunt's Column (cut down by fire from a Nazi tank in WWII and reconstructed with a new tower and amazingly undamaged statue) is just behind me in this pic and will likely show up in a later pic.

LA photographer Joey Terrill was showing a group a few things about lighting on location at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Joey allowed me to move away a prop he was using and to adjust his solo light a little so I could get this intense shot of Deontay Wilder looking totally bad ass. His light & my camera & shot. (I mooched off the pocket wizard he had hooked up to the light with my own PW mounted on my camera).
Deontay was the only US boxer to medal at the Beijing Olympics; this photo was taken about 6 weeks before the Olympics.

The sun casts its warmth and rays over cherry blossoms on trees at Brooklyn Botanic Garden located in New York City.
It's incredible how lush some of the trees are this early into spring. Last year at this time, it wasn't until the end of April that the trees looked this full of blossoms.
