Cliff, Redrocks Colorado 2010
I recently traveled in Colorado. Redrocks is cool for a number of reasons, most notably the red rocks. But in this case I'm in love with the silvery rocks. When silvery tones combine with the imprint of years and centuries, some kind of magic results. I used to think it had something to do with some mysterious and elusive magical property of the silver crystals in large format negatives. But even when those crystals don't come into play, the magic still carries through, whether in pixels or pigment inks. I guess it's something about notes, textures, and time.
The Photo of the Week is a photo not otherwise on the site, and not for sale yet. It might be fresh from the camera, a new scan of some old film, fooling around with Painter, or a file from the archive that I haven't printed yet. email me if you're interested in a print of the weekly photo, or if you have any feedback. Mostly these will disappear back into my archives; a few will eventually find a home on the site.
