Living Organism

Unnamed Twenty Eight, 2018 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) In considering ideas for my next project, I've been thinking about the city as a living organism or perhaps a living reef. The inert infrastructure is ever morphing from the efforts of us the living inhabitants - we are like the city's life blood. We ...

Convergent Is Complete

Unnamed Twenty Seven, 2018 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) Yesterday I completed work on the final edit of my latest body of work - the Convergent series. I'm aiming to have all the images up on my site by next week's post but there are 40 images so it may take a little longer. I ...

Iteration Is Your Friend

Unnamed Twenty Six, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) One of the few things that has really stuck with me from my Computer Science Degree is the concept of iteration. When you're writing a program often times in order to solve a problem or to complete a task you have to adjust something then ...

Perfect Pastel

Unnamed Twenty Five, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) This is a confusing time of the year - lots of year-end preparation and attempts to complete commitments. Lets just say, like everyone else, I'm working on it - Ha! And the pastel pieces continue.

Conclusions

Unnamed Twenty Four, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) By Chance this morning I saw an exhibition postcard for a print maker Lorna Livey whose prints remind me of my own pursuits. Just beautiful atmospheric images reminiscent of skylines as seen from airplane windows. Feels good to see another artist arrive at similar conclusions.

Time Slice

Unnamed Twenty Three, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) Had some visualizations on how to approach the Intersection project. Generally, I like to make long exposures and I often use pinholes, but this time was thinking - something a little more stuttered. They may be long exposures also but I think I'll layer a ...

Intersection

Unnamed Twenty Two, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) I've been contemplating my next project for a while now. It's a long anxious process, but this morning while observing an intersection on Dundas west - the same one I've been seeing weekly for two months, I began to consider intersections as a potential point ...

Rhythm

Unnamed Twenty One, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) Wait a sec - I’m not interested in the intersection of time and rhythm, like I said last week – it’s just rhythm. Time is a factor of rhythm not a separate element – so are cycles, so is movement, so is pattern. This is why music ...

Next Project

Unnamed Twenty, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) This morning I was considering what shape my next project might be. While I'm still very much interested in the intersection of time and rhythm I'm not certain how else to address them. They're both fairly abstract concepts photographically and well, the resulting five bodies of work ...

Instagram

Unnamed Nineteen, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) At long last I've begun posting on Instagram. I know, I know - what took you so long? No idea. But I've started - at least now vs never. My Instagram is @williamoldacre and there is a second account @dreamgeometry. @williamoldacre will have frequent posts of images ...

Disjunctive Time

Unnamed Eighteen, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) Time is a peculiar thing for me. I'm beginning to wonder if I have some form of memory issue. I kind of need images as a key to remember or perhaps I should say - images act as a key for memories. Today I'm feeling rather ...

Intuition

Unnamed Seventeen, 2017 — Sidelong :: (click to see more) It's been really difficult for me to articulate thoughtfully about the images I make. I realize now it's because I largely operate intuitively. Much of what I do and everything I pursue is all based on intuition. I do it because it feels like the right ...
