It's rare I find the time to curate a Treasury list.
This is one of those rare occasions.

Sinthetix Series
A new series of fetish studies in high-contrast monochrome on metallic paper, emphasising the beauty and aesthetics of what is often considered dark and seedy, but is in fact a celebration of life and freedom.

| Possession Part One 2011 |
This first image in the series bridges the gap between these two perceptions, contrasting the beauty of the female form and the striking fashion (including those iconic red-soled stilettos) with the stark surroundings and distressed floorboards.
The following images remove the model from environmental context, creating a purity of focus on line and form, subject and composition, style and substance, the aesthetic and the sensuous.
12x8 inch prints on Fuji Pearl silver halide paper are now available from Etsy at $40. Limited editions of 50. Parts Two, Three and Four also available as a set of 3 at $100. Other sizes poa.

Cy Twombly 1928-2011
It's with great sadness that I note the passing, at the age of 83, of Cy Twombly.
Much of my photographic work is influenced more by abstract art and artists than by photography and other photographers. Since I discovered his work a few years ago, none have inspired me more than Twombly. The last of the great American painters, and arguably the world's greatest living artist, he will be greatly missed...but of course his work will continue to serve as testament to his brilliance, and continue to inspire.
