Blue Sky Possibilities
-
Creamy metallic swirls distort the pitch of perspective. What does it mean to be complete? If perfection is completion when is it attained? Broad reflection still invokes drops of doubt.
White ink and blue ink inside a petri dish. What would happen if I dropped a dark blue alcohol ink? They tend to boil at room temperature, and create very active movement for a brief few seconds. Perhaps, less is more. Simple is smart. Agility yields more than rigidity.
The mechanical part was a simple experiment with few elements. Allowing the inks to play was difficult. As a photographer, I think we want to control as many of the aspects of light and movement. For some disciplines in photography, this is essential. For me this niche area is fascinating. Four core elements allow for a near infinite number of possible photographs.
As far as the reflective nature of the various inks, I tend to have 2 - 4 high wattage studio lights on the field. When I looking through the camera, I can nearly always solve a reflection concern. It is not uncommon though to see the studio light in the glass or reflecting of a surface. I embrace them as evidence that it is photography. Sometimes the reflection (of any surface) can become too distracting and the image simply doesn’t go forward.
Lastly, everything new is challenging, including the inks, oil and glass. There is uncertainty and unknown to explore, learn and develop tools to be successful in that place. For me, if I stay curious and want to learn, then it becomes fun and in that learning there is an inherent next step to take and garner just a little bit in our life experience.
