It is a lucky day!
I must admit I haven't seen a gallery that so much resonanced with my inner
vibration of the moment for quite a long time.
This must be something, for
I write overviews very seldom if ever.
I even do not send my own work
in any more, I don't know why - work, frustration, overload, exhibitions,
deadlines - that quiet madness you can discover only when being in up to your
chin or even drowning ...
Yesterday evening my wife said to me suddenly
- "now take 5 minutes off your translation and send a picture to the gallery -
you don't look as a human any more!"
"Of course!" I answered.
But I
didn't.
Now I look at the gallery and think how lucky we/you all are I
didn't. It would have destroyed this pretty collection, although only a
fiver.
Andrew Brooks - Willy Lott's
Cottage
I was enjoying the 1st picture for quite a long
time already when decided to check the link. Knowing Constable more or less I
had to refresh my memory and then I was drowning in these water reflections
that I always try to catch on my photographs, but on the painting they were
more than alive.
I very much liked that the photograph was made from
another point and angle. Now it added up and gave a continuous perception of
the location.
Time - what is time - does it exist at all? There are only
different states of a location. Being there time melts.
I have experienced
the continuousity in some ancient heritage locations - village sites from the
early iron age or grave mounds from the neolithicum and amidst the very same
prehistorical kind of alvar forest, sky, clouds, flying barnacle geese and
quietness after that..
With Your picture I felt the same kind of plugged
in feeling.
Trevor Cunningham -
discontinuity
Graphically very pleasing and similarly with
natural waves they grab your attention and you drift away with them.
It's
like being in a round room - it feels so big because there are no corners to
measure the distances with.
It's a step off moebian eternity.
Or fire -
you never get enough.
Or double chocolate stout . . . ok, kidding with
this!
Emily L. Ferguson - High tide/wind
I usually ignore
moving water pictures when shot at forest creeks or tide locations late in the
evening. That compulsory milky thing.
This shot is totally different
although quite milky too. But this is quite another dairy!
I do not live or
be very often at the ocean, although sea is my almost everyday companion.
Therefore I appreciate wave shots and positively windy and washed-away
emotions.
I feel comfortable, althouh want to find shelter eventually.
I
feel real!
D.L. Shipman - Inland Waterway
How much
details do we need until they begin to disturb the magic of the light? We need
the glimpse, the overall understanding and then go and get lost in the 3rd or
4th or 5th dimension. You can touch the air but not much penetrate it while it
is quite a task even for the sunrays. I breath it in with my sore
lungs.
Alan Zinn - Ok, people line up, blue, red, blue,
red..
That's why people shoot panoramic! To perceive the hidden and
secret rhythms and patterns.
Nothing is random (even if You have told them
to walk so, it has its higher determinacy :)
Some day somebody will notice
The Ultimate Pattern and heaven forfend if he gets it to the
picture...!
Beg Your pardon, everyone! Im not any good in
reviewing!
Sincerely,
Peeter
