Wind Blowing From Left to Right, Through Cherry Blossom.

See +ALT for full solipsistic hold forth

#Photography #Gallery #Berlin #VisualLiteracy #arthistory #KeepSharingTheBeauty
Wind Blowing From Left to Right Blowing Through Cherry Blossom. Schmeterlingfeld, is a tiny space of green to encourage biodiversity along the side of the Landwehr Canal, Berlin. On this space, smaller than half a tennis court are three juvenile cherry trees. They are always a treat to see and photograph. Every year this mini Sakura is a magnet for me. It is in itself worth the effort but it is on the exact location of a memorable scene from Wim Wenders’ Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of Desire), 1987. That’s enough for me. Good times - Over the last decade, these flora portraits have become my passion and delight. I simply love making them. When I look back at my pictures I always struck by what I would have missed if I wasn’t looking. - What I would like any viewer to understand about my photography is the following. * I make 90% of my work in Berlin Green Spaces. This topographical landscape has memory. It tells stories. I am a storyteller.  * I prefer to work "in camera" so there is minimal post processing on my pictures. These pictures are straight out of the camera. * They are all daytime pictures, underexposed to appear dark and relit with an off camera flash.  * Influenced consciously by 15th to 18th century European Painting but unconsciously, just about everything else.  * I am clearly stating, "Look what I would have missed if I wasn't looking" which feels one hundred times more authentic than the somewhat arrogant, “look at what everyone else is overlooking.”  * I cannot think of the creative process as a shot. To me, I make pictures. Thank you for reading - ALLES LIEBE AUS DEM BAUMHAUS

Wind Streaming Through Jerusalems

Tempelhofer Feld
Berlin

+ALT text for the full holdy forthy

#Photographer #Photography #VisualArtist #ArtHistory #VisualLiteracy #KeepSharingTheBeauty
Wind Streaming Through Jerusalems A low view point picture of Jerusalem Artichoke flowers with the wind gusting in between them. The closest bright yellow flower head is slightly out of focus as it dipped into the foreground of the picture, creating a heightened sense of movement and visual drama. All of the yellow flower heads are being blown from right to left, all are at an angle of 45˚ or more. Just to the left of the vertical axis is the sun, hidden behind the clouds and a flower head. This is a bright daylight picture made on Tempelhofer Feld, Berlin. I liked the link between Jerusalem & the Templars. In reality Jerusalem Artichokes are not from Jerusalem or Artichokes. They are a type of sunflower and from the Americas. I am sorry about that. This photograph is deliberately underexposed and then relight with an off camera flash. My aim is to see our shared environment in a way that I find beautiful and moving. I am as inspired by western art, in particular painting from the 16th to the 18th century. This is as a result of working as a lecturer for the National Gallery for over 27 years. I feel my pictures are pretty hard to define but are at their best when printed. They need time, they need a certain amount of art historical knowledge. This makes it quite tricky for myself when it comes to definition. Typical me. On the plus side, they are very beautiful so for many viewers it can rest at that. Over the last decade, this form flora photography, closer to portrait than a traditional landscape has become my passion and delight. These photographs are all day time, with virtually no post processing. I make them in the camera. When I look back at my pictures I always struck by what I would have missed if I wasn’t looking. That is one of the gifts of photography for me. 

 Keep sharing the beauty

Knights Templar Field Tilting Poppies

Knights Templar Field Tilting Poppies. 

A red poppy tilting towards the viewer, lit by an off camera flash, it stands out perfectly amongst the bright green surrounding plants. It reminds me of blood. Maybe a little long as a title? I do like my titles to refer to my mindset while making the photograph. I prefer the language of creating to taking. I loathe the term shots. I associate that with guns. a legacy of american gun ownership. Tempelhofer Feld, near my Berlin home, is the former land of the Knights Templar, a crusading order of young religious men who would not inherit under the feudal system of inheritance. There were a large number of German Knights, in the European order of chivalry, acting as "security" for pilgrims to the so called Holy Land. These religiously motivated individuals would often need to borrow heavily to fund their Papal sanctioned "travels". Often borrowing from Jewish Money Lenders, it was not uncommon for the knights to turn on their lenders and murder them as a God sanctioned act of faith. This convenient antisemitic act of murder also cancelled their debt. It was so common that the pope intervened to stop this unsanctioned act of violence. The German knights had to be reigned in for their barbaric acts that could threaten the funding of the whole crusading initiative. More recently the land has been a military parade ground and an airport, it is now a large park land in the centre of Berlin. Of course it is under threat for redevelopment. There is always someone who can smell money in it. These "people" promise that the land will be redeveloped with "affordable properties". Affordable is a relative term and I would ask affordable to whom? There is still money in this land.

 * I make 90% of my work in Berlin Green Spaces. This topographical landscape has memory. It tells stories. I am a storyteller.  * I prefer to work "in camera" so there is minimal post processing on my pictures. These pictures are straight out of the camera. * They are all daytime pictures, underexposed to appear dark and relit with an off camera flash.  * Influenced consciously by 15th to 18th century European Painting but unconsciously, just about everything else.  * I am clearly stating, "Look what I would have missed if I wasn't looking" which feels one hundred times more authentic than the somewhat arrogant, “look at what everyone else is overlooking.”  1700s Berlin is one of the world centres for Chemistry. Linked to the Royal Families passion for Alchemy, they employ chemists (alchemists) not just to pursue the race for base metals into Gold & Silver but for the challenge of Synthetic Blues. Synthetic Blue is first written about by the chemist Johann Jacob Diesbach in the early 1700s. The first factory produced Prussian also known as Berlin or Brandenburg Blue, is in the 1900 century but the French state that they invented it first. Blue is the most restful of the primary colours still. It is symbolised by the angelic or spiritual across all societies independent of faith constructs. Blue as part of the daylight colour scale is the result of the earliest form of photography now known as Cyanotype from the ancient Greek kyáneos 'dark blue' and τύπος, týpos 'mark. It was named this from the Shadows on the wall concept of Plato's allegory of the cave.

Conductor 71 A photograph of roses named after the magnificent Marius Re Goring in the Powell & Pressburger’s A Matter of Life and Death. Photographed in colour in Treptower Park. The photograph has a low view point and we look up at three small clusters of roses in a V composition. The two clusters above and to the back are a lot darker than the group of roses at the intersection of the V. Beyond the roses is a partly overcast sky with the sun behind the clouds crating a silver lining. My pictures are daylight, underexposed and relit with an off camera flash. They are nearly all photographed in cities I do not post process these pictures. I don’t really like photography in general that much if I am honest.
