Although not consciously understanding seeing of negative space my mind already was seeing it. Even most of my earliest images were un cropped or I had a lot of trouble deciding a little off the top or a little off the bottom. Also I was never one to steal a persons image. This women looked at me and my camera, I pointed it at her from shoulder level she nodded an approval, depress the shutter a moment is created. The triangles all lead to the strong yet ambiguous eyes. Tri X 400 at 400 Nikon F 1971 105mm 2.5 lens f-8 1/125 somethings the mind remembers. So for a few or more posts as I file negs from 35 years of following the rectangle observing and commenting I’ll post a little history of my life in photographic art. I hope this will be my second book want a copy?
