New topic/theme - sand


What is this blog about? In a nutshell, it's about black and white darkroom photomontage, and occasionally some digital montage. Every few weeks, a new image with a few words about it, kinda poetic, philosophical. 
For more details - check out the archive, the first post, April 26, 2015.

Let's move on to a new visual theme/topic: I've chosen sand. Yes, that's right, sand! 
It comes in any color you can imagine, and any texture you can imagine. White to black, as fine as flour, as textured as gravel. It is amazingly malleable, and can create a multitude of forms and sights. It records the weather, the waves and wind, and the creatures that pass over it.


So here's a few photo-montage images to start off the new theme. 
They are a great transition from the previous topic (time) to this one.

(This one is digital)
A single blade of dune grass is blown by the wind, 
makes circular grooves in the sand. 
It is a clock of sorts, a measure of time. 
Part of a sundial miraculously appears. 
Reset your watch if you feel it necessary... this event will not last long.

This/above is darkroom.
How many photos of sand do I have in my archive?
The only answer can be 'countless'.

Old coast road, broken clock


A discarded clock sits between sky and a road no car has traveled on in quite a while. Did the clock break at the same time as the road? Or did the clock break the road?? Time definitely works it's slow destructive effects on one and all. As the road recedes in the distance, it is unbroken, navigable. Let's hope one can continue on after all seems broken, on foot, hopefully this is simply a temporary distraction.
