Rarely am I so confused about the situation when I was taking a picture.
One day I ran into the Łódź Photo Festival. There was a looped film projection in one of the side rooms. Two young people watched it. The scene looked compositionally ok (although it was very dark) so I photographed it. My frustration in the subject of the description comes from the transmission of the material, for me it reminded me of an endoscope inserted into a tube. Maybe I don't know much about art or maybe I'm just not in the target group of recipients of this film material (even for sure).
In dreams, I see shapes and colors like these and I hear music as the shapes and colors change. It seems perfect to imagine those feelings and sensations with fractals.
AB FAV for today…

I had been 'playing' with this concept for a while in my head. I called it (instead of the Silence of the Lambs) the Silence of the Bird. When I had the final result, it came to me immediately: VISUAL SILENCE.
I don't often 'dive' into the digital 'magical' darkroom that photoshop can be, but for certain projects it is a great creative tool!
Here, in the case of visual silence, what is being absorbed is not sound but gaze.
If silence is the absence of noise, then this visual silence is defined as the gradual absence, the vanishing, of what surrounds it, where we burrow from the visible surface to the invisible core. Our focus on the image involves a diminution of the optic field:
in this sense, visual silence is like a poem, its power arising from its sheer vulnerability. The image cannot be penetrated even by the most powerful of gazes because it is already open, in full view... and yet the transparency of the image, one that does not attempt to hide anything, is still capable of mystery.
Visual silence arrests us because it is the interface between two realms of partial knowledge: between he who does not know he is being watched and those who do not know what they are watching.
Some images leave us speechless, we watch them in silent awe.
Ultimately the camera is merely an extension of the human eye, it only sees and cannot wholly know what it is seeing.
May PEACE be with you and thanx for everything, M, (*_*)

a fleeting pause in the city heat, her parasol glowing like a lantern as she sips and turns. light and shadow carve the moment into something both delicate and cinematic.
Visual Magick’s Igneous mods for the Kobold are beautiful beyond words! I’m wearing Lava, and its definitely HOT! I had a lot of fun playing with particle fire to take the last 2 photos. :)

Much of my time these days is spent on work and family and photography has totally taken a backseat for many months now. In fact, my impatient 9 year old daughter was waiting and whining behind me as I was making this shot. I had to find ways to resuscitate my lost creativity nowadays and continue my visual journey...
My apologies for the very rare visits to your streams nowadays.

the seasonal maintenance & climate allows

I don't know what Marbled Hot Springs Rd. would be without the American Bitterns! While we were there the reeds hadn't had a chance to grow very tall so the Bitterns were pretty easy to spot. Raising their heads up generally in position with the vertical reeds I'm sure they are imagening they are hidden from sight...I didn't realize until this picture what an incredible 'visual perspective' they have of everything around them in this position!
My favourite time of year is Fall because it is such a visual delight. The wonderful colors, the smell in the air and everything that goes with it. This area of Fish Creek shows a river gently winding through an area of colorful trees.

Day 24 of 365
I took this photograph couple of days ago while we were heading to library with Aura. In my mind this picture compares very closely to Day 19. Not only is it taken almost from the same spot, but the light is a bit similar and again the whole picture is based on a very well known visual motif of silhouette figure. I hope the guy is at least someone else this time! When I took that earlier picture, I wrote about feeling mixed about it because pictures which are too much based on known visual motifs become clichés easily. Looking it now, I feel I need to lighten my stance and focus it a bit.
I don't want to be against visual motifs. If you look at the history of photography, it quickly becomes clear that it isn't reasonable stance to take. As a matter of fact, many classic photographs can be considered, if not only to be based on visual motifs, but also something which have created them in the first place. Like someone who commented my earlier picture said, there are only a finite number of different visual motifs, maybe just a few hundred. And being 'language of photography' they can be put to use in different ways, which means that the motifs don't control photography as much as one would think. So, yes I'm lightening my stance here, but here comes the focus part. I think that if photography is solely based on repeating these visual motifs, it is reduced, I think, to be repeated for didactic purposes. To me, some genres of photography are close to this, but I can understand there are different approaches to this. In my mind I would like to think that good photography also needs a context, a story or some other 'interpretative dimension' to make them something more than just 'pictures of the world'. I know it's a challenging claim to make, but it is also very much something that I need to learn myself too.

(Cut outside, across the street from the club, to the spot where the pop-up coffee vendor was previously parked. The lot is dark and unlighted now, Ronan, Sienna, and Mateo are waiting when Caly jogs up.)
Caly: Where is Lucas?
Sienna: We were hoping he hooked up with you.
Ronan: I don't think he's her type.
Sienna: Picture me punching your arm for that dumb visual. (to Ronan) I mean, I thought he might have met you (to Caly) on your way here.
Caly: He did not, and we can't wait. (motions for the black-clad trio to follow her across the street, toward the landscaping beside the stone front entrance gate)
(Cut to the quartet reaching a side door of the club, Caly trying the door.)
Caly: Locked, and there appears to be a guard inside so I can't risk breaking in, here.
Ronan: I'd have infiltrated if I knew they were going into lockdown.
Caly: You didn't know. We'll find another way. (looks around) Mateo, take them to the place you got in, before. It sounds like they don't consider it important, but if you get in, wait for my signal.
Mateo: Where are you going?
Caly: I can get into places the two of you can't.
Ronan: So can I.
Caly: I want you to stay with them, as muscle.
Ronan: I feel so empowered. (preens)
Caly: All of you, this is a deadly situation. I want you to use the weapons I gave you on anyone you encounter. Don't ask questions, don't wait to decide if they're human or inhabited. If they're human, it won't hurt them. If they're inhabited, they're your enemy. Understand?
Mateo: We're fighting evil alien invaders. Got it.
Caly: (smiles) Good. I'll meet you inside. (she darts away, vanishing into the darkness)
Sienna: She forgot to tell us what the signal will be.
Ronan: She's a tenet. It's bound to be -- obvious.
(Cut to Lilitus draining another human while Trajan absorbs the life essence of another inhabited human.)
Lilitus: I can't recall the last time I delighted in so many courses! Wait, I do remember. The soirée on that human's island, with all the delectable girls.
(Cut to outside, Caly's skirting the building when a hand reaches out from a ground level window, touching her ankle. She kicks away the hand, spinning and drawing her weapon.)
Levi: (his smiling face is framed in the window) Getting old, tenet? You should have sensed me.
Caly: (drily) Maybe I did.
Levi: Acerbic. (motions) This way.
Caly: I have others with me.
Levi: I saw them. They're going in through a service entrance. We'll meet up with them. Coming? (vanishes into the interior darkness)
(Caly doesn't hesitate, slipping through the open window, and closing it behind her.)
(to be continued)
Thank you to the cast!
Levi: Erebus
Caly: TB
