Film recently scanned and shot. B+W TriX my go to voice. Old and pasted by technology the decisive moment becomes quantity  how many images can your camera make in an hour? What does the image say? 700 photos in 6 hours and my battery sill has power. TMax 400 30 exposures over 3 days last week six I like. Every image you make is a self portrait.

A Recent Walk Sept 1st

September first around the block thoughts on negative space and composition.

1954 Chevy Pick-Up Sept 1st 2018

Negative space how what isn’t your subject defines whether it is a snapshot or a photograph. On this image my concept and space reality made me crop this shot. A car parked behind and bushes that constrained my space to back up. I like the angle of the truck but this position removed the car it also added to much  front yard across the street. I like the crop alright but oh to be able to step back 18 inches.

Plums Ripen and fall to the sidewalk.

Triangles a prime aspect of composition push the viewers eyes to your subject. The obvious one is the branches caressing the plums. More subtle triangles the leaf in the upper left like a pin ball bumper directs your eye back to the plums as does the leaf in the lower right. If you look hard there are many little ones but all lead to subject.
