Hell OPF Folks,
If you read my ramblings at all you probably get tired of my frequent promotion of creating bodies of photographic work --projects-- rather than simply single images. Lucky snaps are fine, but a somewhat focused direction of exploration really exercises your imagination and can take you into deeper waters that you would otherwise navigate.
OK big mouth, let's see something, eh?
I am in the process of rejuvenating and reestablishing my Web galleries and am taking the opportunity to present previously un-shown work and projects (mainly at the welcome and constructive nagging of my wife and friends).
So here's the first example: Of Dreams
I welcome you to tour the 51 images in this set. The description at the beginning presents the conceptual basis for the work. Of course I also welcome your feedback and reactions.
One note: The images are actually presented in a sequence constructed for presentation in a book. While the images are not intended to be a harmonious sequential stream their recto/verso organization in the book does establish a degree of open-book visual cohesiveness that's not apparent in this single-file online organization. (shrug)
