Grichels, Wesely, and my bug.
Apr. 23rd, 2005 12:07 pmApparently there's at least one cool thing in Indianapolis right now besides HLM... check out Grichels. Those are wonderfully evocative. I hope he buys a wall hanging like he said he might.
I've felt better about this rather senseless absence than I thought I would. My bug is still my best friend, and he loves me (I know this because he drew a heart on the whiteboard before leaving), and he finally got a cell phone on Monday, in part so we could talk while he is gone. So, though I have started to miss him and I am annoyed that he has chamber music rehearsal the evening of the day he gets back, I'm not feeling the pangs of insecurity I could easily be at this point... and that's a good thing.
I also have a new favorite photographer with an unfortunately crappy website: Michael Wesely. I bought his book Open Shutter after seeing one of his pictures in a magazine, and am unabashedly fascinated by the long exposures he uses. He does things like taking a year-long photograph of a building that is being deconstructed and a new one built in its place, and you end up seeing the most fascinating, ghostly juxtapositions of the old and the new. People, who move too fast, hardly ever show up, while the sun makes streaks across the sky. Shorter exposures in train stations show clocks with no hands, ghost trains and just the merest hint of people sitting on benches. I really want to find some more work by this guy... yeah, and buy it, because the pictures on his site are way too small to convey how cool they are. A purposeful strategic move, I'm sure.
