| Publisher Description: The 66 color photographs in this collection were taken in Southern California, France and the Cyclades Islands of Greece. Subjects include buildings, wildflowers, store fronts and doors, fruits and vegetables, landscapes, churches, forests, and red poppies. As in some of my other albums of color photography, I have excluded titles, captions or other annotations that could distract the viewer from the images themselves. Cameras used were a Leica M-3 rangefinder camera equipped with a 50mm, a 90mm and a 135mm lens and a Nikon FE reflex camera using a 50mm, a 70-210mm zoom lens and a catadioptric 500mm lens. On the last pages of this book are ten images I created on a specialized emulsion, Kodak Ektachrome Infrared film, using certain color filters to produce effects that I called "Photographic Fauvism," inspired by painters such as Maurice de Vlaminck, Andr Derain, and Henri Matisse. Just as they had painted red trees and green skies, I wanted to produce similar effects photographically. These experiments were painstaking and time-consuming and many test shots were discarded. I have published herein some of the images I considered the most successful. All of the photographs in Photography 2018 were composed in the cameras themselves. None were retouched or Photoshopped. |
