Sunrise Butchering





Trying out a new way of seeing. Thinking back to the Danny Wilcox Frazier workshop in the spring, where exposures were encouraged to be about the way the light feels. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This was butchering at sunrise, where actually it was completely dark most of the time. I hope to go out and try it again. Mostly darkness is kind of fun. I'm used to lots of flat fluorescents, and I think the scarcity of light is actually a plus for this subject. It makes it challenging. And I'm having a blast. And it is so wildly cold. I need a new pair of boots.

Love the second one. That's an executioner, a hangman, a real butcher...

I wasn't in Missouri when you had that workshop. Can you tell me more about "exposures being about the way the light feels?"

Thanks.

The second's my favourite too. It's got a nice feeling to it.
