an early evening wander around the garden after a rain shower … this Clematis Flower catching the last light

Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
Et nos amours
Faut-il qu'il m'en souvienne
La joie venait toujours après la peine
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
Les mains dans les mains restons face à face
Tandis que sous
Le pont de nos bras passe
Des éternels regards l'onde si lasse
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
L'amour s'en va comme cette eau courante
L'amour s'en va
Comme la vie est lente
Et comme l'Espérance est violente
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
Passent les jours et passent les semaines
Ni temps passé
Ni les amours reviennent
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
It's a piddly little creek really, more like the Liffey than the Seine but what the hey! Any excuse for a little Apollinaire
A random sight down one of the narrow streets of Edinburgh, but a pair of shoes hang over the bracket of a vintage lamp. Edinburgh Castle looms in the background.
Black box, black sheet, black shirt, little light and little boy.
This did not come out how I wanted it to at all, so a reshoot is in store!
Albert Tucker (1914-1999) is along with Sidney Nolan the most accomplished member of the Heide Circle. Tucker is one of the first Australian artists to develop a distinctively Modernist aesthetic in relation to World War II. www.heide.com.au/exhibitions/we-are-dead-men-albert-tucke... [If you are interested, please open the pdf link here as it shows you some of Tucker's most interesting work.]
Both with his paintings and the camera, Tucker left his mark on the Melbourne art scene. He was also involved in the literary project of the Angry Penguins (and the infamous Ern Malley affair). Tucker was married to another artist closely related to Heide, Joy Hester.
"In the mirror: self portrait with Joy Hester" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Tucker_(artist)#/media/File:Albert_Tucker_and_Joy_Hester_1939.jpg
After the war he travelled to Europe where he developed his artistic range even further. As one of the last surviving members of the Heide Circle, Tucker set about recording the history of Heide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Tucker_(artist)
This exhibition was curated by Patrick Pound, who ordered Tucker's work around the motif of the electric lamp: "The works are accompanied by a curated selection of Patrick Pound’s vast archive of found lamp-lit photographs and clippings: from vernacular snaps to newspaper photographs, cinema stills and archival images. As Pound describes, together they ‘light up like a crime scene caught in a newspaper photographer’s flash’.
The exhibition seeks to reconsider Tucker’s work through the singular frame of electric light: at once melancholy and moody, technical and historic, painterly and expressive. Pound’s photographic inventory further reminds us of the expressive possibilities of electric light through modernism and the history of design." www.heide.com.au/exhibitions/under-lamplight-albert-tucke...

Outtakes from San Francisco Magazine assignment for the November 2009 issue
I like to play with light to create various ambient conditions, moods, or whatever in my home. My latest foray into creative lighting appears, at least to me, to resemble a flower...somewhat.
