COLOR FIELDS. STAY TUNED

---

CAMERAS SHOW A REPRESENTATION OF A 3 DIMENSIONAL SCENE.  PHOTOGRAPHS THEMSELVES ARE 2 DIMENSIONAL WHILE  THE ACCEPTED PRACTICE IS TO GAIN AS MUCH 3 DIMENSIONALITY  AS POSSIBLE..WIDE ANGLE LENSES ARE USED TO ADD DEPTH TO PHOTOGRAPHS. VIEWPOINTS ARE CONSIDERED FOR ADDING DEEP SPACE. " A GREAT FEELING OF SPACE " IS OFTEN SIGHTED AS THE ULTIMATE GOAL..

BRETT WESTON ONCE CHIDED ANSEL ADAMS FOR BEING AN 18TH CENTURY LANDSCAPE PAINTER DUE TO HIS STRAIGHTFORWARD REPRESENTATION OF NATURE. BRETT,  BROKE THE MOLD. HE WANTED HIS WORK TO BE MODERN AND THEREFORE OFTEN ABSTRACTED NATURE, REMOVING ANY SENSE OF DEPTH THROUGH PRINTING AND CAMERA POSITIONING.

I HAVE FOLLOWED THIS PRACTICE IN MY COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF. I ATTEMPT TO LOOK FOR THE 2 DIMENSIONAL IN NATURE. THROUGH COMPOSITION I ATTEMPT TO BRING EVERYTHING TO ONE FLAT PICTURE PLANE, ELIMINATING ANY SENSE OF DEPTH IN THE PHOTOGRAPH. RALPH GIBSON HAS SPOKEN OF THIS IN HIS WRITINGS IN REFLECTIONS. LOOKING  FOR  COLOR TO DOMINATE, RATHER THAN DEPTH,  IVE MADE SOME PROGRESS I HOPE IS DEMONSTRATED IN THE  PHOTOGRAPHS BELOW . TO ME,  THIS DOES  RESULT IN A MORE A MORE MODERN AESTHETIC WHERE THE COLOR ALONE BECOMES THE ESSENCE OF THE PHOTOGRAPH.
