Photography means ‘writing with light’.
Tonight the sky is lit up, and I took one of my ‘apnea photos’ as I was walking home. I set the camera on the night setting, then, since I don’t have a tripod, hold still and don’t breathe until the camera finishes computing all available light.
Earlier in class (History of Art Neoclassic-Modern) we discussed the concept of ‘organic photography’, that is photography that is not retouched or enhanced digitally (Photoshopped). Well, what you see above is a direct dump from my camera. I read the recent review of ‘Werewolves’ and our very own Duncan Sheperd mentioned a David Caspar Friedrich light throughout the movie.
The sky tonight reminds me of German Romantic poetry.
The one true source of art is our heart, the language of a soul infallibly pure.
A work that is not begotten from this source can only be an artifice. Every authentic work of art is conceived in a sacred hour, and borne in a happy hour, often without the artist’s knowing, by the inner impulse of the heart.
David Caspar Friedrich
