This
is the first in a new series. This
is where the image has center stage and the writing takes a bit of a
back seat. I may include some thoughts on the pictures but will be
kept to a minimum.
To
give you an idea of what I mean:
This
series of images were made in a church grave yard in a small village
not far from me. A place I have visited a number of times over the
years. It has a quiet air that encourages you to sit and contemplate
for a moment or two. On this occasion I could not resist making a few
images, it was the way the light was streaked across the ground
catching the frost making it sparkle that set the camera to my eye.
After
I had processed the negatives I scanned them to the computer to sort
out the levels and tone of the pictures, a feeling of sadness came
over me. As I studied each image that was worked on I had a strong
sense that these were now the forgotten.
