Forty years ago I bought a Minolta SRT101 and immediately went out taking photos of everything. I liked black and white and went into a lot of abandoned buildings. I was under the impression that I was taking some good photographs. I had no idea that every one was photographing abandoned buildings. Apparently it is still a popular subject.
This photograph was taken about thirty years later. It is an abandoned room.
The colors are always there in the light. A prism can be used to separate light into its spectral colors. This time I used the reflection from some leaves that blew into the plants on my front porch and a camera.
An image of substance should be able to have an effect on more than just the eyes of the viewer. The maker of an image of substance should be able to allow that effect to have its own existence.
