This is how Larry Fink signed the book I got, titled just “Larry Fink” by Phaidon
So, I’m starting my first tab-zine just for that
For the pleasure of easily watching my work at any time
For the pleasure of my eye
This is one of the photographs in that book…
Perhaps our short encounter (I mentioned it in here Some...) influenced me more that what I ever thought
No,
I won’t start that first zine with photographs from this summer…
I will be now inspired to do that in Fink’s photo
Because I think he intuitively, unconsciously, like by osmosis inspired me to get probably a good bunch of shots
Those are the ones for the first zine to work on
Let’s stop a bit in that photograph
First of all,
He used a flash in this photograph
but, not in his camera hot shoe but up in his left hand
… see the shadows woman at left made : the glass on the bowtie man, her head on the upper right corner woman
Am I right?
The mix of glances is just fantastic
From the main character in the white circle and the roses… nearly out of frame!
the face is familiar to me, is he a man or is she woman? who’s that person?
Look at the other arrows (glances), like something happening at the left of the frame…
while the upper right couple in light blue circle counteracts their glances
And see the hands in different colour circles, interesting
Everything is extreme in the picture, containing a kind of tension in a strange balance
…
Well, I never take that kind of photographs
BUT
perhaps some of them were inspired by that “magic” combination of people glances
And that’s what my first tab-zine will be about
It has a title already: For the pleasure of your eyes
One of my photographs comes to mind to start working in that first zine
but I don’t find it now
I will
Let’s start for this other one, taken not long ago
Glances here are somehow interesting…
It’s going to be a difficult job to look for the shots for the first tab-zine…
But interesting
I’ve been posting very often the last times due to some circumstances, very useful for me to get a new insight into my work and share it!
Thanks to all who have been following all along
See if I’m busy in the new job from now on
Wonderful post. It inspires me to look at my old crowd photos to see if any have a smidge of those qualities. Though maybe if they do I’ve already highlighted them in my memory. Still an excellent lesson new to me. And an incentive to go out looking for more.
