Texas sun

Jeremy Green “Strands and Striations” 04/27/19

The sunlight shone cleanly on my patio this afternoon where I spend much of my free time when the weather is nice. The objects in this still life are always out there, and I watch the shadows move and interact with the stripes and curves. The clay vessel with two stripes around its neck is from my boyhood home, and the lovely round rock with white stripes is a souvenir from a Mediterranean trip a long time ago. I have photographed details of the curves and lines several times before, but nothing ever quite hit home. Today I put a white card behind the objects, and a new perspective became apparent. Finally I got something I like. It reminds me of Paul Strand.
