Recently I have had an interest in looking at the work of artists I admire and trying to emulate specific elements of their work, or just outright duplicating it. I end up teaching myself a good bit in the process. Harold Edgerton was the master of high speed photography, something that I have never thought much about, outside of sports photojournalism applications. He invented the Stroboscope, which was the predecessor of modern electronic flash. I have always thought about stopping motion through the use of high shutter speeds, but if you have a short enough duration of flash that is significantly brighter than the ambient light it will also stop motion. If you don’t have a major difference between the ambient and the flash you can get some interesting motion blurs. After thinking about all of this and researching the flash duration of different strobes I own, I started thinking about some photos I had envisioned, and then poorly executed in college. Gorjus and I wanted to do something for MLK’s birthday, rather than just enjoying the day off. It was probably our first collaboration. I took some photos that I envisioned symbolizing ideals of the civil rights movement, and Gorjus did some text. We then made good use of the honors house photocopier and “published” our high contrast, heavy-handed pamphlets.

A decade or so later here is my reinterpretation of images I hope are never seen again.

    I like 7 & 12 more than any others. But I really like seeing all this bold color. The last four make me think of blood…and I don’t like that. I might like some more shots of just single things dropping. 4 & 5 kind of feel like they are dissolving…ala Alkaseltzer(sp?). But even those I like.

    I am going to put some of these in the show at rainbow during july. I am a little hesitant since they don’t really blend with most of my work, but I think they might have an audience . . .

    Hello Sally. My computer is not agreeing with me so I can’t see the photos, but I am sure that they are great as usual. Tell your beloved other I said HELLO
