Romantic Wanderer Series #11

Inspired by Richard Misrach and John Gossage.

Misrach did some pics of dirt in an issue of Blindspot a few years ago that were in color and incredible, and I said "hey, I would love to do something like that in b/w." So, I took to shooting massive dirt piles and tire tracks and stuff at construction sites without the equipment, of course, just dirt.

John Gossage did some work published in an issue of Contact Sheet, also a few years ago, that was very dark and grainy and I loved that style, too. So, I incorporated the two ideas and with my Romantic Wanderer Series and this project developed....... in the dirt.

I love dark, grainy pictures.

If anyone wants to read my vision statement it is posted, on the previous uploads and I won't include it from here on.

Thank you for allowing me to share my vision.

I can't help "hearing" Mahler's " Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen" when I look at these images in your series. It's a cool idea, and the photographs are successful in what you're conjuring. My only nit is that the wanderer needs longer hair! :wink:
 
Gosh, John - Mahler, ummmm, WOW! Songs of a Wayfarer. Guess, I will be listening to some Mahler tonight in the D/K - how about Das Lied von der Erde followed by Shubert and Strauss - with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf? I am going to need a good Riesling while I'm crying, for support!!!!!

Thank you so much for you wonderful comments. And, I agree with your nit, maybe he needs a green velvet frock coat, too..... CHEERS!
