Details, that is the type of photos I like to take. Close ups. So close you sense you can see the atoms doing a dance. Maybe the idea is to get inside the object? I don’t know… but I like focusing the camera on the little details, the corners, the forgot spot, where the heart of the matter seems to beat.
Take for example this armchairs arm. Carved wood, brass tacks, worn, velvet brocade upholstery, faded paint… The texture is rich, the details endless, the history evident. It has been touched, it has lived.
When focusing on the entire armchair those inviting details are lost, and it is reduced to just another worn out armchair.
Layers upon layers of time. The French word on the leather bond book, "Chansons" translates to, "Songs." Antique books invite you to hold them, open them, as if holding hands through time.. there is movement in those worn pages, collective thoughts, like a song asking you to join in. Soul humming.
Communicating through the presence of silence.
Telling time, telling your story.
Photos: Taking time to notice the little things.
