Thanks for your visits, faves, invites and comments ... (c)rebfoto
Night shot, exposure 37 minutes (yes, more than half an hour), taken on September 22nd 2012 at the shores of lake Rosset (2.709 m), Nivolet plateau, Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy).
Geometry has been paramount in conceiving this photo:
1) bottom rectangular shape: the waters of the lake
2) center triangular areas: Col Rosset (3.025 m), Col Leynir (3.084 m), Taou Blanc (3.438 m)
3) summit semicircular area of the sky: concentric star trails toward the Polaris
shot started when the moon (phase 43%) was setting behind me and my camera, in order to get still some shades on the mountains, at least during the very first minutes of the long exposure, just to give body and three-dimensionality to the landscape.

Another experimental lith print image. I am working with the copper sulfate bleach look, and trying to analyze both how it works and what it does to images sort of viscerally. Perhaps most interesting in a high-rez world of what is the emotional impact of the sacrificed information?
Having done a little darkroom and other alternative process photography before, I know that it is sometimes kind of a luxury to just let the vagaries and vicissitudes of the process make decisions, and it can be surprisingly challenging as you lean more, to in a way take creative responsibility for the final image to a greater degree.
This is a step in a larger process for me. Learning to see another way. And it feels weird to do something that is both so satisfying and feels so at risk of being outgrown and so then despised.
But making art is about embracing tensions like these, isn't it? About finding ways to surf that wave.
In a few years I will either still like these, or they will have helped me to grow into someone who is capable of seeing differently. This gives me the courage to show them, but not quite enough comfort to do so without making my long justifications. Somewhere.

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

COLEÇÃO A POESIA DOS MOVIMENTOS INVISÍVEIS
É inevitável, pontos de conflito, linhas de organização e insurreição, invisbilidades. O tempo passa... por cima.
A poesia dos movimentos invisíveis: um olhar, um passo, um gesto, as linhas da cidade ou um detalhe qualquer, completados pelo olhar, criando uma poética nos movimentos que só existem no encontro entre corpos, fotógrafo, local, pessoas fotografadas e quem vê a foto, e isso pode gerar uma potência de presença, uma dança estática.

COLLECTION: THE POETRY OF INVISIBLE MOVEMENTS
It is inevitable, points of conflict, lines of organization and insurrection, invisibility. Time passes... over.
A look, a step, a gesture, the lines of the city or any detail, completed by the look, creating a poetics in the movements that only exist in the encounter between bodies, photographer, place, people photographed and who sees the photo, and this can generate a power of presence, a static dance.
