Sphere in Motion

Shot on Kodak Tri-X B&W negative film circa 1975...

Fine piece of art.

Sometimes dogs can be your best

art source....his ball

The "geometrics" of this shot are just the best!!! All the lines and shapes produced by the actual objects and those fantastic shadows due to the fantastic angled light make for this truly marvelous shot. This one goes into my favorites file (circa 1975 was a good year!!)

It was just minutes before the sun would disappear for the day. Light was coming through sliding glass doors into the basement room

Oh those shadows, what spells they weave.

Truly original, different, fresh. Masterful management of light and shadow, artistic, geometric, architectural, decorative and several other adjectives that fit this image well. No need to comment on the obvious protagonist, so cleverly presented. Bravo. DG

Thank you Daniel for your insightful comments

Very fine.

Hi Joe,

 

nice to see more old B & W photos on PN! This is a beautiful play of shadows, photographed very well, with a wonderful composition, great tones and contrast. I like how the sunbeam makes small floor particles come to life. Right into my favorites! Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent, I have photographs in the portfolio from 1973 right up to the present day.... Sometimes I wonder if the ones where I knew almost nothing about photography, except get the needle in the circle for correct exposure, aren't the best I have ever taken.. Makes a strong case for just seeing and not thinking the photo. Ignorant clarity... :-)
