I wanted the gull to appear further to the left, but I'd already spooked security after a few minutes and didn't want to push it. Negative space, yes, I meant it that way.

we've all been there

I have been experimenting with taking day shots and using Photoshop's "invert" feature to convert the shot to a negative image. Day then becomes night. This is essentially the same shot as "Adams Street" (Malta, Illinois) in my feed below. A gimmick in my opinion for sure but still interesting to play around with.

This negative is telling us to stay positive.

Here today sick and frail it was all i could do to not let him sail

away

in the wind

thin beyond thin

bone and fur was all he had been

for who knows how long

he came to me to survive

i tried

once i caught him for a hospital visit

but he bit me hard to the bone i feared

and my visit was for six shots all in the rear

so i fed him and kept him warm in winter

the best i could

now i fear he is gone

not come back for more

and so he is finally at home

with a hot meal and a good tale to tell

of life and hardship with a cat tale to sell

Crazy Tuesday

while hunting for another photo in my vast store of "stuff", I ran into the photo on the left. I don't know how, or when, or why, but I thought I'd to invert and see what was there. It's definitely me, I must have been working on making negatives at the time.

one of life's mysteries.

on the right is the inversion.

I tried searching on my stream, but it was quite a task. dunno whether I've used this photo before or not.

ah, I did find a version here from Sept 2016. I was working on oiled paper negatives.

Karst Spring is a roaring torrent that gushes out of a wall of rock - it was lovely to be there on a 30C day, lots of cool plants there too.

Negative space is the audible silence in the visual world

The Japanese concept of Ma has been described as “a pause in time”, an interval or emptiness in space. As a music teach once said "Leave space so the high notes can shine".

Ma is not the negative space we photographers utilize in our images, but an emptiness full of potential. It should be deliberate and of value, holding sustenance towards the entirety of the shot.

Western image making seems to suffer from "FTF" : Fill the Frame. where 'empty' zones are frowned upon.

I could have easily removed that vignette, but when I did the entire 'atmosphere' of this scene suffered...

the strangest thing about a hole is the edge.

If a hole is plugged, where is it?

And: and why are there no half holes ??

Here's Candor, thoroughly enjoying the fresh north sea air and finding nothing negative about the space to his left ;)

Because darkroom paper is orthochromatic, the colour response isn't what you might expect - the petals of this sunflower are actually yellow and the background should be black ...

Polaroid Week Autumn 2019

I've decided to raid my Dad's old negatives for Polaroid week this time and transfer them on to polaroid photos using the Impossible instantlab. These must have been taken around 1937 - 1940. I'm not too sure where this was taken.

I love negative space, which I think often provides breathing space and an aura of calm, so I was happy to see this week's theme. I fought the urge to choose a white background (believe me, it was a battle!) and instead chose 2 more of the pieces of painted paper I bought from an artist as 'byproducts' of her abstract work. The wooden vase is 1" high.

negative is my outdoor cat.

he thinks he owns my lawn and garden and bird feeder.

he comes to my backdoor for food but will not come into the house.

the house is not his territory.

he will live like this forever. i have blended him into the outdoors, big and bold.
