Sun Flare and Red Flowers

The sequence treats flare, inversion, grain, and soft focus as visible surfaces rather than corrections.

Grain, flare, and shifting exposure carry this short set from an abstract fragment of light through a silhouetted figure and an inverted waterfront glow.

It ends among soft-focus roses, where color and texture take over from any single represented scene.

Light, Color & Surface

  • Intervals of Visibility - Partial visibility connects isolated forms, softened architecture, layered color, and subjects defined by concentrated light.
  • Same Shots, Warm and Cool - A repetition study: the same dockside boat, the same portrait, and the same riverside shrub each appear twice, rendered once in saturated warm tones and once in cooler, more neutral color.
  • Double Exposure in Black and White - A sequence of six overlapping black-and-white exposures that layer trees, buildings, glowing cursive text, light trails, and carved stone into single frames.
  • Double Exposure B&W (II) - Layered exposures where two scenes coexist in one frame, moving from painted surfaces to sky, architecture, water, and stone.
  • Double Exposure B&W III - Each frame stacks two visible scenes: hard-edged objects and lettered signs on one layer, plants or patterned surfaces on the other, so that neither layer fully covers the other.
  • Sun Blade, Blue Cross, Red Water - Three visually disparate frames - a sunlit portrait, a blue-lit sanctuary interior, and an overhead view of tinted water - grouped for their shared contrast of sharply divided light and color rather than any confirmed...
  • Through the Pane - A walk through an interior where lit tubing, striped color, warm stone, and a translucent red object are bracketed by two neon works seen through reflective glass.
  • Numbered Mosaic Pillars in a Tiled Passage - A photographic inventory of round, tiled pillars, each carrying one mosaic numeral in a checkered band, arranged as a descending count that skips two digits.
