Shades of Deeper Meaning
“Words mean more than what is set down
on paper.
It takes the human voice to infuse them
with
shades of deeper meaning.”

I've been exploring motion in images for years, but let's be real: "motion" covers a lot of semantic ground. Camera gestures were my go-to at the beginning. We all remember that great purple cauliflower shot. Whole-body movement was a natural next step, twisting from the core instead of just my arm.
But there's a lot more to discover. Take these images, for example. Was the camera moving? No. Was I moving? No. But the plane taxi just seemed like a perfect opportunity to capture the lovely landing strip lights.
I love these lights.

I love the rainbow bokeh in these images, the unfocused points of light that make a twilight image feel festive and full of wonder. There are two extra special images I want to call out: The first image is actually two, layered on top of each other. The last image, as with much of my work, blurs the light. I'm so pleased that the blurs are completely straight. Trust me, it took a lot of wavy shots to get this one :)

Originally it seemed like a mistake to have the two images above touching.
But then you look at it for a hot second, and wow. Of course they should intersect like that.

You may remember the first in this series (if not, here). A and I were driving back to New York from Portland, and stopped in Boston-ish to watch the sunset. It's just as hard as you'd think to find a good (#don'ttowme) place to park and have a good view, but we eventually found a parking garage that was (yay) free on Sundays. Win! To the roof, with haste!
If you know me at all, you know I'm a sucker for good lighting. Give me a few hours from pre-dawn to post-sunrise (concepts I now differentiate, dawn vs sunrise), or a good hour or two near sunset, my precious golden hour. (Not "my precious" but ok, kind of.) That's not the point. The point is that the clouds in this particular sunset, combined with the expected fantastic light, produced the foundation for some great images.
Here's to another rooftop sunset to play with soon.
Cheers!
