I love these, Alan. The colors and compositions….beyond delicious.
Long ago I had this 3 foot square piece of window glass, and I took it to a field and set it down on the grass and photographed it. This was in 1974 I think. :-) And I’ve been thinking about it lately – what happened on that hot summer day was like what happened here, with the moisture. It was interesting. I took the glass back to the field after a snowfall.
I am so caught up in simply enjoying the gorgeousness around here that I don’t go any further, and I want to. So your post is a reminder to me to try to go further, besides being a handsome series. I (hopefully) will go to the hardware store and get another square of glass, and experiment. Thank you for sharing your always-active brain. :-)
Thanks Lynn. These share a similarity to your images of greenhouse windows taken from the outside. You may also recall some 2015 pictures I shot through plexiglas window panels placed against the grass (https://bit.ly/2X0HgSq and https://bit.ly/2X1mmHS).
And good luck carrying a sheet of glass through the woods :)
Totally (?) unrelated, I went to a book talk by an old friend from San Francisco Zen center, Norman Fischer, yesterday. His new book is called The World Could be Otherwise. I think you might like it, and if he gets to your area at all on a book tour, try to catch him. He’s talking about the role of imagination, in artists and others, in repairing what’s gone wrong.
Beautiful, beautiful. Eat more veggies! And bananas.
