Part of series from my book and solo exhibition, STILL/LIFE IN MOTION a portrait of

time passing. From the section: Melting into Light.

Much appreciated, Mark!

Part of the exhibition, STILL/LIFE IN MOTION, this image represent a section in the

book that deals with the emotion, Boxed In, but still not dead. Music, represented by

the portrait of the composer Bach lurking in the background suggest life through

creative action.

Title page image of my book and accompanying solo exhibition, STILL/LIFE IN

MOTION - a portrait of time passing. The ghost image caught behind the head of this

beautiful woman alludes to time passing as in the Vanitas Still life painting genre of

17th century Dutch art. In those canvases the painter would paint a time piece or skull

hidden in a composition of lush flowers, crystal and gold that showed off the wealth of

the new middle classes of that period in Holland. Here in my photograph I interpreted

that idea with in camera photographic technique

Another from my book and solo exhibition, STILL/LIFE IN MOTION. Vigourous

movement by older people, celebrating life through movement, despite the onslaught

of age.

Abstracted foot of dancer on a textured floor. Movement stilled and foot manupulated

in post production to suggest dead bone, alluding to a kind of dance macabre. Part of

my solo exhibition and accompanying book, STILL/LIFE IN MOTION - a portrait of

time passing. A photographic exploration of growing older and living youthful.

Such a moving image well titled, Larry! The almost centering of the boat emphasizes the large expanse of water against the background of that beautiful cloud that at once caresses the horizon and spells something ominous.

Wonderfully subtle evocation of human flesh in the soft fold and slightly undulating line between the two shapes, with the button creating the movement. Congratulations, wish I could call this masterpiece mine, Timo :-)

Wonderful sense of mystery in the subtle layering of the clouds against the light. I can feel the misty moonlight. Well seen and felt, Bernardo!

Compelling suggestion of transition: the 'in between time' between 'here and there' in this capture, Svetlana! Both the shadows that indicate day into night, the man with his suitcases and the busstop. Well conceptualized and executed!

Amy, Raymond and Museeb, your comments are much appreciated, thank you.

Soft focus, mist, merging and playing with sliders on photoshop in an

attempt to produce the sense of magic that city life in Cape Town South

AFrica is for me

South AFrica.

indeed it does, Lynne. Filled with mystery and intrigue. Those hands so strongly silhouetted provide a strong sense of the ominous, contrasting with the soft romantic feeling evoked by the misty figure. Well done, Lynne

what a stunning eye to catch this scene so filled with a sense of the ominous, not only by the shadowy figures, but by the combination of the skew, rectangular light and the transparent layers. Congrats Svetlana. May I share this on facebook?

Most facinating  exploration of the relationship between tiny man, with his huge constructions, emulating the creation of nature....or that's what I make of the enormous stereometric structures that dissolve into a misty desert like horizon. There is a surrealist feel. And a strong appeal to the emotions in the  light and dark contrasts, contrasts between sharply defined contour lines and dissolution of these lines into nothingness.   Brilliant concept and execution, Marcin. Thanks for sharing your vision.

Not only does it work, Lynne, but it sings. That is because, I think, the dynamic composition with its lines that sweep in a rhythm that sounds like music, and reads like poetry. The subltely of the limited colours and tones is also in tune with the soft focus. But what is most marvelous for me is how you created - through choice of angle of the camera lens - the lines of yellow to look as if they cut through the solid white of the wall. Its as if the front curve is sliced out. A masterpiece!

temporary tatoo process? tell me more, Michael?
