Hi folks,
I recently uploaded Car Lights a new photo essay on Flickr -- it can
be seen at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/22231918@N06/sets/72157622805556082/
I'm also working up some video/animation material based on these and
similar images. If any composers or improvisors out there would be
interested in creating a 5 - 8 minute piece for such a video, please
get in touch
Further notes on the photo essay are below. Thanks for looking.
I've always been fascinated by the photographic possibilities
inherent in reflections, transmitted light, and refracted light. I've
been taking a lot of photos recently of closeups of car headlights
and taillights, which combine all three.
Car Lights consists of a sequence of these pictures, with the
original photos interspersed with images treated with various
Photoshop filters.
The 'Doctor' in Doctor T comes from my Ph. D. in physics. A friend of
mine used to say that I took 'physicist's pictures'. I don't think
about the physics when I take images like these, but they can
reasonably be described as physicist's pictures'.
