The movement series began some forty years ago when I wanted to do some photograph of a friend running and jumping on the sands of Red River. I wanted to use slow shutter speeds and camera panning with the movement. Not being able to chimp, I miss guessed on the shutter speeds required and the photographs were almost sharp rather showing the blur of movement, which I had intended. Also, they were shot on outdated Agfachrome (cheap price) and were very magenta, so they all went back into their boxes and remained in storage until about 2002 or so when I scanned a few of the images to see if I could digitally correct the colors. One day I discovered that I had inadvertently saved one of my extreme manipulation abstracts in the same folder and wondered what would happen if I combined the abstract with some of the movement scans. Thus began a formidable project of finding abstracts that enforced the movement I had wanted to capture back in the 60's. I think the end results are very close, if not better than, to the original intent. This is a very small sample of the manipulations that were created. Only a small number of the Movement series have been given titles.
Et c'est là qu'est le secret du bonheur et de la vertu, aimer ce qu'on est obligé de faire. Tel est le but de tout conditionnement:faire aimer aux gens la destination sociale à laquelle ils ne peuvent échapper.

I played with the color using the color balance adjustment. I felt like the colors in the original felt a little stale or dead and didn't do the positive thumbs up robot any favors. Pulling the shadows into the red, magenta, and yellow help punch up the mood into something happier.

I don't like flashy awards, since they're mostly given because of an obligation to stupid group rules. If you got something to say, say it in your own words and not by copying and pasting. I don't follow such rules, so if you have the sweaper running, don't even bother to invite me please. As of now the flashy awards will be removed, no offence!
