Wynn Bullock said, “As I became aware that all things have unique spatial and temporal qualities which visually define and relate them, I began to perceive the things I was photographing not as objects but as events. Working to develop my skills of perceiving and symbolizing these event qualities, I discovered the principle of opposites. When, for example, I photographed the smooth, luminous body of a woman behind a dirty cobwebbed window, I found that the qualities of each event were enhanced and the universal forces which they manifested were more powerfully evoked.”
Yeh right, like that’s gonna happen : – )
What, no luminous bodies?
A splendid contrast of opposites.
Your photo illustrates the point so well
I really like the part of the image against the black background. Stunning.
Magnifique le vide comblé par une plante.
hahaha!!!! your comment was the perfect cherry on that stressful cake hahaha pretty picture toooo
Ah the intellectual waffle for the catalogue 🙂 Nice honeysuckle
Quelle belle plante avec les fines et délicates fleurs blanches superbe
belle soirée
A well placed photo with the interesting story.
Très belle ta photo
Superb composition…things becoming alive …with nature !
Your composition illustrates the principle of opposites very well, along with being very eye-catching!!
On dirait du chèvrefeuille, il doit sentir très bon.
I see the dirty glass but , where’s the luminous body? 😉
i like how the photo defines the words
I see the pretty honeysuckle, but as others have said, where is the body? 😉
Lovely honeysuckle
When I view the physical and metaphysical aspects of these organic and inorganic objects with different temporal relationships both to each other and to different aspects of themselves, I begin to understand that the framing of the image and the recording of the reflected illumination on the electrical component of the device in your hand or on your tripod, both have a causative effect on the presented work of art (neglecting for the moment any modulation of the picture elements during the transition between the source and the sink). The juxtaposition of these situational parameters provide foundational power to the quality of the presentation.
(I am unable to translate that from Art Speak to English)
I think you’ve done very well!
Happily I have finally been able to get back here. For several days the link didn’t work. I will have to book mark it.!
I will enjoy the honeysuckle and leave luminous bodies to sci fi writers 😀
They look and smell so nice.
oh what? not going to find that luminous woman behind a cobwebbed window? 😉
I do like the contrast of the twining green of the honeysuckle against the opposing broken window, stone, and weathered window pane.
I find the slightly wilted blooms (honeysuckle?) a good in to the missing pane and dirty pane. I find artists, especially educated artists, have a special aptitude to describe their work in highfalutin language impressive to art critics and other educated artists, but gibberish to mere mortals.
