DARKSCAPES
This is a recently-finished portfolio book containing 16 original Piezo prints. Like Shadowscapes, it depicts the forest we enter in fairytales. But on this journey I've shifted, or perhaps regressed, from the f64 style of Shadowscapes to something more like Pictorialism. In each image one narrow plane is in focus and is surrounded by what Stieglitz, when still a Pictorialist, called 'atmosphere' – though we're more likely now to call it bokeh.
The prints are small, about the size a Pictorial photographer would have made with a 5x7" view camera. They're warmly toned and stay mostly within the dynamic range of photo papers prior to 'modern' chlorobromides. The book is screwpost bound, so individual prints can be removed for framing. The book can be seen at Corden|Potts Gallery, 49 Geary, San Francisco; or larger prints are available from thompsonkirk@hotmail.com.
