Jeremy Green “Rush” 11/12/23

This torchere is part of a larger installation entitled “Corridor of Light” that Cliff Garten Studio of Los Angeles was commissioned to create in Arlington, Virginia. I’m intimately familiar with this work, because I produced a photography portfolio of the project two years ago for Cliff. I happened to be back a couple of weeks ago for personal reasons, and I proposed a time lapse sequence of one torchere as it undulates through its program of vibrant color changes. I got the green light from Cliff. The lighting program is eleven and a half minutes long, and I set the camera to shoot two frames/second for the duration. This is one frame from that time lapse sequence. Did I shoot it? My camera shot it while I shivered in the chill and puffed on a fat cigar. Back home at my “Big Mac,” I felt kind of an “Oh!” when I saw this capture in my sequence of 1300+ frames. I love that rush, which I have often felt in 60 years of using a camera.

Jeremy Green “RLT” 7/15/21

This is Tanya (AKA Tanya Jane, TJ, Tanya Babe), who is a disciple of RLT and is my best friend. Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a therapeutic technique that uses red low level wavelengths of light to help skin cells heal or recover from various degrading conditions. Tanya has been putting her faith in this lately. Such a good friend lets me play, but the little ears poking up are all Tanya. This is someone who is quite comfortable in her own skin, but she keeps working on it. Keep the faith.
