Late September, 2024: Memory over Time, Time over Memory

After having finished editing these two photos, I've come to the conclusion that they remind me of the way that a specific memory changes over time, just as the historical record changes as years go by,  and that things which once originally seem ideal and solid  inevitably become abstract and faded. or perhaps more gently and elegantly stated,  MY INEVITABLE REFLECTIONS UPON THE PARADE OF ENTROPY.
Both images were created using a +10 year old Nikon D7100 dslr (35mm 'cropped-format' or 'dx') and a 24mm lens of even earlier vintage. The top image, in black-and-white with its' magnificent  doubravatone finish, is a seemingly 'simple' in-camera, traditional, multiple (triple) exposure. The color image below is an in-camera 'image-overlay' of an in-camera triple exposure and an in-camera double -exposure. The D7100 produces 24 mb RAW files.These reproductions here of course are much smaller jpegs, by necessity.

More Imaginary Kansas, Fall 2022

 

Kansas Landscape with Electrical Utility Pole (summer 2022)

 A three-exposure panorama.  This landscape photo is composed of three individual, (though overlapping) landscape photographs; each of which was made with a full-frame 35mm DSLR and attached 35mm lens. This strange combination of the wooden vertical obelisk and wild vines suggested an element of eros at work (or play?) within the fertile fields of Northeast Kansas.  

October 2022: Kansas Landscape

 This image of a landscape in Northeast Kansas was created on location, using the multiple-exposure function on a Nikon D810 with a 35mm lens. Two exposures were made in succession, with a 180 degree camera rotation between them. 

This is a Kansas landscape in miniature; this is an Imaginary Kansas.
