In photography, interesting images are usually the result of a photographer documenting an important, surprising or exceptional event. This event is translated by the photographer into an intriguing image.<BR/>What happens though when a photographer, purposfully chooses to work at a location where nothing is happening?<BR/>Where nothing notable can be photographed although he is determined to return with interesting images anyway.<BR/>What will happen is, that because nothing is coming from the location to the photographer as a reason to make pictures, everything needs to come from within the photographer himself.<BR/>He has the full responsibility for the important, unique or exceptional events in which the audience later is to be interested.<BR/><BR/>The location therefore becomes a mirror, because only the photographer's imagination, fantasy and creativity are instrumental in creating the noteworthy events.<BR/>The location thereby becomes a screen on which the projections coming from within the photographer are seen and then made into an image for the audience to share.<BR/><BR/>The images of the PS-series are icons of dreams and hallucinations.<BR/>What one sees is possibly not true.<BR/>But then perhaps it is.<BR/>The images are a very personal interpretation of reality.<BR/>A version of reality never before imagined; becoming a reality within reality.<BR/>Stretching the imagination and opening wider the doors of perception.<BR/><BR/>Most of the ideas for the images of the PS-series were born in one place: El Triple, a deserted bay with a long and sandy beach on Mexico’s west coast.<BR/>The pictures for these ideas were made at El Triple, but the actual creation of the final images took place in Nowy Sacz, Poland in 2007 and Punta Boca del Salado, Mexico in 2008. (dit kun je wellicht nog toelichten )<BR/><BR/>The PS-series is so-named for two reasons: PS stands for Photoshop, the Adobe software program used in making the images in this book.<BR/>But PS also stands for post scriptum; the beautiful bay of El Triple, Mexico, has been bought by an American developer and the construction of an exclusive holiday resort has commenced."<BR/><BR/>I enjoy your ruminations, pictures, and the effort you make to share your thoughts and daily experiences. Thanks again.<BR/>Kathryn<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
