Night Mood Series
[posted at 16:48 GMT]    

I am recently working on series which is rather different that what I made so far. I showed on this web site few shots and more is coming. Jeff wrote me few lines how he sees it. I really appreciate his support. Here is what he wrote to me:

As for comments on your Night Mood Series... I like what you try to capture with your photography, Richard. Photographs that evoke meaning, remembrances, feelings in the viewer, by photographing those subjects that evoke them in you. It's that personal uniqueness that makes you and photography so special and that something extra.

Viewing this series, I am instantly transported back to when I was a kid, to memories of lying in my bed at night, I can at this moment picture it as if I was seeing right in front of me now, how the light would play through the window, the venetian blinds that were on the double window in my room. How it filtered through that onto my ceiling and walls. I would probably have never thought of trying to capture that in my photographic work, to bring out those same or similar memories in those who viewed my work, from their own lives, childhood or memories.

two new rolls

I have just finished developing of two rolls of Fuji Neopan 1600. They drying now upstairs and I am thinking about them. It seems like I have few nice images there. But as I always say, let us wait until I scanned them tomorrow. I try few new things I never did before but always dream about. I am sure I can show you something more tomorrow.
