Photo Essay: Exploration of a WindowFirst posted in December, 2004
...
I adore the window in Sam's study. |
...
Small panes, set in painted iron, break up the scene.
This both adds and detracts, contributing to an already
beautiful sight while also fragmenting the image.
Such a division, however, draws the eye to
the component parts of the whole. |
...
A single pane frames a multitude of images depending
upon one's point of view from within the room.
This pane is part of the previous photograph's mosaic. |
...
The historic glass subtly distorts,
giving a surreal aspect to everything beyond.
The mind unfortunately makes adjustments to
explain the image without any perceived anomaly.
The camera, however, brings it all to the fore. |
...
At night, passing between open curtains,
light enters the room through wavy glass,
casting a mottled glow on the wall opposite.
|
...
Until you look closely upon the window,
in just the right light and from the proper angle,
you fail to realize its many subtle details.
