my saul leiter book is one of the heaviest books I own, just a little something to think about

A clock by the Waterbury clock company dating to 1890 sits in a dark scene, resplendent in its ogee ornamentation and still ticking smoke blooms from its posterior as its pendulum smears.

there’s a symposium coming up on October 25th too 😯

Yoshida Chizuko - Portland Art Museum The first major retrospective to focus on the groundbreaking 20th-century painter and printmaker Yoshida Chizuko (1924–2017), a pioneering woman modernist in Japan.

If you get a chance while it’s on you’ve got to go see the Yoshida Chizuko retrospective at Portland Art Museum, just exceptionally lovely modernist prints portlandartmuseum.org/event/yoshid... #art #museum #portland

@silverhalides on there

A dried arrangement of sorghum and eucalyptus sits half-illuminated and soft on a glassy black precipice backgrounded by gray gradient shifting quickly from light to black lower left to top right as woven goods and berry baskets barely escape the encroaching shadows.

very nice!

shooting color or b&w for this? going to be pretty sick either way I’d reckon

A funky 60s or 70s building is dappled AF by soft shadows from distant shores. The buildings second-story facade is an uneven rectilinear grid filled within seemingly random colors and an amazingly vague (if extant) periodicity with the greatest consistency attained by a single cours of transparent windows within which a grey-brown patterning emerges from the flattened dimmed office interior, and unoccupied.

Forever a legend in my mind

A black and white photograph of a doorway shaded from the left: the front step bears a totemic scrawl of a monstrous face, minor grafitos have left their inscriptions on the brick and glass and contributed their little pieces to the collage texture framing two screen doors shut forever, and, screwed shut tight over locked shop doors of a Reagan vintage and host to the centerpiece of the image, an unaddressed inscription: “HATE ME MORE+MORE” The author of which, in disciplined dispassion or in red hot emotions disregarded the multifaceted topology of their canvas interleaving text with three or more layers of screen and door and glass and blinds.

A rain-slicked sidewalk slides upward into gray skies, crowded by hundred year-old brickwork and on-street parking buffered by a thin row of barren trees. Steam gushes from a vent while a dark figure central to the image cresting the damp sidewalk approaches or departs, an indistinct silhouette.

thanks Jim 😄

An alligatored street gives way to gravel road under a flat grey sky carved up by power lines, a dark figure central to the image squarely in the gravel approaches or departs, an indistinct silhouette.

an abandoned copy of the vision times layers at the base of adventuring stairs side lit by midday southern sunlight, giant doors loom cloaked in chiaroscuro and sutured shut foreclosing on a past filled with innumerable footsteps, “has the city at last lost relevance” some may ask without ever stepping foot on empty stairs or seeking empty silent spaces

it got so quiet

A color photograph looking through interior French doors toward a room with a checked floor, only a thin strip is in focus even though it is coplanar with much which has fallen out of focus.

Love these, I like the look of the developer with FP4, I might need to give it a try!

So cool!

Stumbling over rain-slicked asphalt the air is thick and wet but breathable; rain pounds embracing every seam drips banding together into streams seamlessly slipping the one way through thread gaps and moss cracks dripping down from the trees. It’s so hard to see: it’s the murk, things started falling in years ago and this is what remains inviolate, unchanged and still puissant and pure.

wow the color and blur on these feels like colored pencils

beautiful

damn that looks good, the geometry is really nice for 12mm

love this vibe, is that flash or just how the highlights were?

Lovely shadowy forest!

Lost in a bamboo forest and blinded by the glaring sun recognition slowly flares that the stalks are streaks and the streaks are rivers carved through the grime of the city settling endlessly on a forgotten courtyard enclosed in lexan.
