home house

As I was walking into a house built in the 1920s that was being prepared for painting, I first noticed the quality of the light in the room, as I turned to the light, these two windows caught my eye. The windows appeared to be twins, varying only slightly as some twins do. I was intrigued by the light coming through the panes of the South facing windows. With only slight vatiations in the way the panes were tapped, but with the same light being diffused through the paper. A very thin slice of light barely coming through the top of the window frame on the right broke up the symmetry just enough for me. I decided to name the panes, Nathan and Nicholas.    

In Jeremy’s and Eliot’s photos, small individual parts combine to make the image whole. My mind raced to this 500 to 600 year-old barn, converted now to a home. I love how its beautiful stone bricks vary greatly in size yet still remain straight on course. Shot in Flavigny, France last year. If I ever disappear, you’ll probably find me wandering around a medieval-walled village collecting images filled with centuries of patinas.
