tail lights, billboards, street lamps….fueling my timeless dance with displacement, wheeling out of Boston on a whim

wading through Tokyo’s famous fish market- at the crack of dawn.  
one off the bucket list

andolan

April. 1. 2010

women in Delhi marching for something…I didn’t care what, just that they were doing it and they were in it all together- the blank background and blurred individuals symbolize just that

andolan means demonstration in Hindi

girl power baby. I like it.

fountainplace

I was tempted to straighten the zebra crossing and make it level, but this picture is also about motion…I love love love this elevation of Fountainplace. Without a doubt, one of my favourite skyscrapers, anywhere.

I’d wanted to take these pictures for so long, I stood shivering waiting for the light…

“There is more to life than increasing its speed.” 
                                                                     -Mahatma Gandhi

The London underground had posters with that quote posted everywhere. So ironic. Here’s an aside:

We want stories told in the first two sentences, TV sports formatted to our limited attention spans, movies to get to the point already, clicks to respond instantaneously and have become so impatient that even flying (you know, soaring above the miles you would in theory need to walk, jump or swim?) seems tedious and prolonged…the pace of life and gratification are continually being shortened.

Even people who lament the loss of human interaction when conversing in their living rooms don an unapproachable air on the tube…and there we are, scuttling by each-other, anonymously rushing past a sea of abstraction.

Life without punctuation
I say, I
am merely, passing by

…and sometimes it’s nice to pull back and do exactly that.

This bus swissshhed past my lens…one whole second of exposure. Think of the displacement within that one second and its transfer onto “film.” Doesn’t it make you think of the pace of things in the world? It really does go by rather swiftly doesn’t it?

merc

even Dallas glows if you shoot it right….here’s a devious long exposure, zoom-in-zoom-out operation on the Merc, the Comerica tower and its neighbours…shot from the new park in the heart of downtown- an experiment of sorts in its own a right.

can you smell the grass, feel the sun and hear the wind?

CeSRON

As in- self reflection is obsolete today, in the age of narcissism the search for self is labyrinthine…what you see are attempts to architecturalize that notion of being and becoming and the tumultuous process herein…

Studies for CeSRON (Center for Self Reflection, Otherness and Narcissism). There must be questions about what the hell this is all about- so ASK!

charcoal landscape study for a bath house project…one of the rare moments where even movement elicits stillness…
