New Project

Sunday, I began a new photo series. Diptychs composed in camera. The first tests were done at the Baltimore Aquarium exploring the horizon lines created by the water line. Images seemed to split into two categories: abstract and a more "realistic." This related to the use of focus and depth of field. Quick notes:

• Focal Planes
• Split image creating in camera diptych, separating the two worlds above and below water line describing these worlds so differently while showing that they are only a thin line apart.
• Horizon created by water line changed due to the movement of the water while re-emphasizing the false horizon/frame line.
• Abstract images have split fields like the realistic ones; however, they become interesting color fields with a relationship to what contains (the water beading on the glass or shallow focus on the front if the water in the scene) the aquarium dioramas.
  

Images will be coming soon. Tomorrow, I will be test printing ten images.
