I made this picture.
I’m quite proud of it. Because, when I said I made it, I meant that. I took a picture of an overcast sky with power poles scattered throughout. I saved it, mostly because it wasn’t much.
I started reading about Todd Hido, who is one of the photographers interviewed in the book I mentioned a few days ago. If you Google his images, you’ll see quite a lot. He’s built the artistic pedigree that I wish I had.
Everything that he does is made in camera, using a medium format body and film. He does no post production. I thought about that for a while and wondered if I couldn’t make an image with similar atmospherics in the computer.
Note. Similar. Not copying. Not faking it until I make it. Just experimenting. This image is the result.
Whaddya think?

I know… we’ll have to summon the forces to lure him back!!!!! 😉 [between you and me, I think it’s something he is contemplating! 😉 ]

I don’t think that he wanted to leave in the first place, but once he committed to it he sort of put himself in a box.

You’re probably right …but I’m sure he’ll find his way back in… sooner or later! 😉

I love the picture; it makes me feel like I’m standing in the rain, wind blowing my ropes of wet hair, wondering which way to turn.

Thank you. I did most of it in the computer. That’s where many films are made today.
