The following presentation photographs in a working series titled “Nodes.” They represent select captures of a performance mixing water, oil, vinegar and soap. The evolution of the act sets out a beginning middle and end. Some echo the qualities of computer graphics or fine illustration, other of planetary bodies and petri dish activity. These photographs were taken with a Canon EOS 30D, Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo and Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX.
Riding the subway home from Manhattan, I was thinking about visual images that might suggest “clean.” In my mind’s eye, the work of Masahiro Mori came to view – I have a collection of his porcelain mugs. Mori is a great industrial designer, known for his beautiful modern work. The image below offers you access to selected images from my makeshift kitchen studio.
I am always in the throws of the dilemma to share photographs. I tend to the side of the perfectionist, which means I spend an enormous amount of time with photographs I care about. This makes it prohibitive for me to start the activity of sharing photos, something I actually adore. Another aspect is protecting, what is in some cases my art. I know as well as anyone, once on the Internet, it is like an open market. In addition I am unhappy with the open-source photo gallery experience. Short of Flickr’s other social aspects, none of them really excite me. So, I shelled out $20 for Slide Show Pro, a photo gallery viewer created in Macromedia Flash. It pulls in an XML file and dynamically renders a collection. Check out my first slide show of photographs taken back in July 1, 2006. They are from the sculptures that surround the PepsiCo. headquarters in Purchase, New York.
