Thinking about the many celebrations at this time of year: harvest, Day of the Dead, All Saints, autumn...

Another still life...

A memory of a garden in late spring with the iPhone

Autumn... Kent... A contribution to the panoply of autumnal photography.

This are not a painting. I feel obliged to explain verbally these images: The original still life photograph is lifted, raised to another level, to another interpretation, a new reality. A curator placed this final interpretation in the realm of Magic Realism, a term which is commonly applied to literature, specifically Latin American fiction. And thus attempting to bridge the gap between traditional photography and traditional painting (the repetition of 'traditional' is intended)

While looking through old images I found this one that I had rejected at the time, but now it appeals to me...

A murder of silhouettes: a collections of monochrome, semi-abstract images.

It is apparent that the process is not 100% similar from one image/negative to another, at least not for me.
