Clear To Soft
Unnamed Sixty Three — Sidelong :: (click image to see more)
This image more than the recent others reminds me most of my childhood fever dream and also of staring out the side window while driving past fields and trees.
Before I began wearing contact lenses I could relax my vision until it was blurry and I used ...
New Idea
Unnamed Sixty Two — Sidelong :: (click image to see more)
Completing these Sidelong images has given me some ideas on things to experiment with for the next body. I went out in the snow yesterday and shot a small test to check it's validity. It worked quite well and gave an interesting result, but I will ...
Transport
Unnamed Sixty One — Sidelong :: (click image to see more)
I'm mostly concerned with the category of motion called transport - which is motion in everyday life, like walking, falling, playing, change of position, orientation of objects or water or the behaviour of people. Traffic is a derivative of people's behaviour.

Interesting Rhythms
Unnmamed Fifty Seven — Sidelong :: (click image to see more)
Interesting patterns and rhythms are on occasion surfacing as I progress through the stockpiled Sidelong images. Means I have to move slowly and not make premature assumptions about the material. But it's bringing out some pretty cool results - more of my dream geometry.
Fearsome Dream
Unnamed Fifty Six — Sidelong :: (click image to see more)
When I was much younger I used to have this incredibly frightening dream – usually when I was ill. It would begin with me safe and disembodied in an all-white detail-less world – calm and enticing. An impending sense of doom would gradually creep over ...

Had a dream the other night in which I was explaining my work to somebody – don’t know who. I was of course using all the usual adjectives which were - somehow unsatisfying, when trying to explain why movement is so important to me in ...
