6 Eyed Wanderer's photostream
|
My perspective leans toward a slower, more thoughtful going about my days in search of a more reflective and soulful experiences to share. I am a classically trained singer and finding my way in photography. The Flickr community has been a source of both inspiration and education. As of 2011, I am beginning to print my own work in a wet darkroom. Somehow, scanning negatives is not as satisfying now. Perhaps from here on, my postings will only consist of scanned prints and darkroom reinterpretations of previous postings.
I shoot film -- sometimes 35mm, but preferably completely manual, medium format. I love to analyze what I see and contemplate what I want to present. The confidence and concentration during the moments of the exposure are exhilarating. The satisfaction found in the completing the process from exposure to print is can not be overpraised.
My cameras:
Rolleiflex Automat MX
Nikon F Photomic FTn
Canonet QL17 GIII
Contaflex Super BC

"It is always great pleasure to spend time in the company of the "6 Eyed Wanderer". Whether on the streets of New York City or the shores of the Pacific Northwest, his photographs never fail to express profound lyrical beauty.
Jay brings two significant attributes to his poetic imagery. The first is fundamental harmony: exquisitely thoughtful and balanced compositions, perfectly expressed through a finely nuanced palette of tones. Each image is a full score, a complete work, and a totally pleasing sensory delight.
The second attribute is a keen sense of temporal rhythms: his images frequently shift and contrast elements of both time and timelessness. We feel the swirl of snowflakes, the blur of skaters, the movement of fog. And against these may be suggested the impermanence of our seemingly solid world: skyscrapers, suspension bridges, coastal rocks. The interplay between such temporal elements is a capability uniquely photograpical, and one that Jay uses masterfully and with meaning.
Such wonderul, wonderful photography! I look forward with eager anticipation to all the new wanderings your life may bring, and all the many well-seen images that are sure to follow."7th January, 2009
