vastness

Antwerp, September 2009

another form of vastness

vastness, simplicity and complexity

antwerp, october 2008

I keep looking at this image and trying to work out what it is that keeps compelling me to look
Is it the glowing tree or the darkened potholes of entry to the buildings or the whispy leafless wintry branches or the neat row of road lining trees
Or the "vastness, simplicity and complexity", empty and full at the same time, nothing and everything (Paulo Coelho)

"...Leonardo da Vinci advised painters who lacked inspiration when faced with nature, to contemplate with a reflective eye the crack in on old wall! For there is a map of the universe in the lines that time draws on those old walls."
-Gaston Bachelard The Poetics of Space

This would be a nice clean utopian corbusian dream if it wasn't for trees and people and time.

a new place

Antwerp Law Courts, March 2009

A new contemplation space

elevated, overseeing, quiet, yet one of the most prominent positions in the city

a monolith yet comfortable, warm, personal

the result - http://860notes.wordpress.com/ a work in progress

street

lange noordstraat, antwerpen - january 2009

street photography
to walk around urban environments
taking hundreds of photos
led by intuition
seeing what is there
feeling something but not sure what
sometimes capturing it
sometimes not
sometimes digitally manipulated and enhanced
sometimes perfect
this doorway speaks volumes
it tells stories
it whispered to me

in essence:

architecture
texture
form
composition
high contrast
framed
unposed uncontrived
imperfection
enhanced

a touch of nature
a passion
a vibe
a feeling
inherent
intuitive
balance
harmony

and forward

stuff
daily

go back

self portrait from a couple years ago
sometimes we have to go back in our minds
so that we can move forward
not to forget but to remember
not to analyse but to recognise
not to weaken but to strengthen
not to fear, not to linger, not to try
but to rise, to breathe...deep

chill

oh come on
should be doing so much more
more art
better art
