Lalique molded glassware. His playing with the clarity of ice-smooth polished figures jumping out from a frosted glass background.<br /><br />Or another likeness which comes to mind (less refined but fittingly industrial for a Brummie) is the magic of watching the process of a piece of flat sheet plastic being vacuum-formed to take its shape.<br /><br />It's interesting to see the depth of field used in a way which is often confined to extreme-macro photography. I love taking macro shots, but even then I don't think I ever grasped different qualities OF fuzziness in photography before. I only saw focussed or not. A Buddhist might have something to say about that simplistic dualism! But hey, I'm techie - I like things binary.<br /><br />Two last references, to cinema...<br /><br />I'm old-fashioned, and I think these photos would serve as a timely reminder to current Hollywood film-makers (or goers) of the dramatic depth which can be provided by 2D, without the need to rely on the tricks of 3D. You don't need to wear goggles to grasp the depth here.<br /><br />The photos are even very slightly unnerving - like when the girl crawls out of the TV screen towards the viewer in The Ring. <br /><br />But, your subjects and colours are lighter and brighter than that horror film, so I'll stick to my first Lalique reference!ergjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287181642668519068noreply@blogger.com
