Winter Mood

in

At last, snow perched on the ground. Freezing temperatures and winter mood. Not something we have had too much of this winter. December and January have been quite mild and we have had little or no snow in the part of Norway I live. I hope this last for a few weeks.

Winter, at last

Reflections on making Images

in

Photography and making images is more like playing an instrument than riding a bike to me. If I don’t do it on a regular basis I feel rusty and out of practice. It is not something I can just pick up where I left it months ago. I have to practice, and at the moment I feel that I am taking snapshots rather than making images. I guess this is a phase I have to go through to get back in form and make images the way I like to do again. But I still enjoy photography and the practice.

Scratching for Ideas

in ,

Scratching for new ideas, I was looking through a book I have on Georgia O’Keeffe’s work. And the book had a few reproductions of her Cow’s Skull paintings. That made me think of this image from a couple of years back. The Cow’s Skull paintings are not new to me, but I don’t think I had them in mind at the time. The image would have been quite different if I had thought of them as I was photographing the skull.

In some way or another your work will be influenced by the sum of your experiences and what you are exposed to. All the tings you take a little time to explore, things you are intrigued by, things that spark your curiosity.
