Backstage Kokoro
A "behind-the-scenes" look at selected images in my Kokoro project —
Content, photographic notes, EXIF data, creative process, miscellaneous commentary, and original digital captures. And now with additional audio comments about selected images!
From Kokoro #081 - Lost at Sea
Minor White famously advised, "Don't just photograph what is; photograph what else it is." I always interpret his advice as encouragement to look for metaphors and deeper meanings.
This project was made photographing the slate that forms the walls outside the China Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. To my eye, they looked like giant waves on a stormy sea.
Original digital capture (downsized for the web)
1/60 sec at f / 6.3, ISO 250, Panasonic DMC-G7, LUMIX G VARIO 12-35/F2.8, 22 mm
