I am breaking the production rhythm to showcase photography work done around the Montreal Biosphere. The Canada trip itself is designed to allow such breaks to exist, so maybe this is the rhythm all along.
Today, 14 October, finds me back in Wolfsburg to my backyard Popsci Oasis, the Phaeno Interactive Science Museum, across the railroads from Volkswagen HQ. For the Lower Saxony school holidays they are running #BubbleMania, or as I would prefer to call it, UnbegrenzteSeifenwasserverfügbarkeitssituation (Unlimited Soap Water Situation). And I am glad to have been here on the opening day.
Numerical findings aside that none of my work even cleared 6.5 this time, despite some marked spreads (4 and 8 for one photo speaks more to personal preference but that is how art works), I do remark the winners are often better commercial photographs than my set, sharp, easy to read, and bright. At the same time by participating as a tourist in Vienna and limiting my role to one that discovers and interprets rather than one who constructs or even illuminates might be compromising. Still, that’s no reason not to take photos the way I always do.
Giant, otherworldly balls scattered along north Otago’s Moeraki Beach, the Boulders look as though they were handcrafted and placed by design. These massive concretions are a geological marvel. Formed originally within ancient sea-floor mud through the slow, steady crystallisation of calcite over millions of years.
