white coast art

not anymore here; dead birch tree was the home for crows, for me – the waymark, ghostly sign.

……..

dabar jau neliko; tai buvo nepalankiose jam sąlygose apmiręs beržas, varnų namai. Man tai buvo orientyras link stovyklavietės, pamėkliškas ženklas.

You have to look for more than 3 seconds those pictures take take effect. Pulsing picture experiment.

some scenes have hazy atmosphere, though photos reflecting it are sharp and clear. I feel realistic details are essential in photography. Though at the same time the scene can be mentally ‘hazy’. To help our inner interpretations I add pulsation between two – sharp details and blurry vision.

If anybody have something to say – do it..

…………………………………………………………………………..

Lietuviškai. Sulieta, kryptingai išdrebinta fotografija, tarsi atkartojanti impresionistinius potėpius, lyg ir pabrėžia abstrahuojančią prasmę. Tačiau šioje vietoje  fotografijos technika netenka esminės savo savybės, kurios nenorėčiau prarasti – galimybė apčiuopti realistines detales. Fotografija būdama ryški, detali  tuo pačiu gali turėti miglotą pojūtį – abstraktūs potyriai išsivysto smegenyse. Nedidelis eksperimentas pagelbėti mūsų vidinėms interpretacijoms – pulsuojanti  tarp aštraus ir sulieto vaizdo fotografija. ( Tam kad pajusti lengvą pulsavimą,  žvilgsnį į šias foto reikėtų išlaikyti ilgiau nei 3 sekundes.)

autumn time, it’s nice to have Evule (Evelina Simone) in front.  Short evening time – the sun is near horizon and the light becomes soft and warm, no harsh shadows.

……………………………………………….

LT. Ruoduo.. ir kas gali būti geriau nei Evulė priešais kamerą. Pavyko apčiuopti tas trumpas 10 minučių, kai saulė prieš paliesdama horizontą panyra į  ūkaną. Šviesa susilpnėja ir įgauna raudoną atspalvį, šešėliai išblunka. Forma įgauna švelnų, nekontrastingą apšvietimą.

Below  photos are taken on Wilhem Canal (Klaipeda), my regular cycling place.

It really inspired me, supporting to polish my style. Those are Tori Amos “Little Earthquakes” and “Under the Pink” visuals – booklet photos and videos (made by Cindy Palmano).

I think they came at the same time as I was finding the way to express my moods and atmospheres, which are a bit similar in those Tori Amos material – feeling of lightness, joy, naive simplicity, neutrality and a little of playfulness.  There I find a good kind of synthesis:  fine art minimalism with impresionistic feel, finalized by a touch of personality.

Adding from WhiteCoastArt perspective..: thoughtful and wet lightness.. something that I feel laying on damp sand on the sea coast at the evening sky, when the group of seagulls fly home staring at that strange alone object.. Another way of characterizing that layer – it has no sexuality, it’s plane in that field, has it’s own mental space.

Looking at Tori Amos videos –  it’s  easy to tell they are not made by filmmaker, but by photographer/designer – they are clean and stark, not  overpowered – maximum result is achieved with minimal means. They are first’s videos made by Cindy Palmano.

Sometimes it’s called “prop-styling”:

It’s common, photo authors mention their photo equipment next to their nature or landscape photos. Uniformly it’s a note of camera and glass model. What the purpose of this picky information, if any, even the cheapest, most basic SLR camera is capable for that type of pictures..? The valuable photo – I call it direct result of individual mind, sharp eye and some hunting instinct.

Yeah, but some equipment play the role. This post is dedicated to my machine, which without it 97% of my photos wouldn’t have happened.

……………………………………………

LT. Įprasta šalia gamtovaizdžio fotografijos  paminėti smulkius technikos parametrus; kameros modelis, optikos skaičiai. Koks tikslas? Gamtovaizdžio fotografijoje, sceną fiksuojant aukščiausio lygio ar pigiausiu veidrodiniu modeliu skirtumas yra nematomas ir nieko nelemiantis. Pasisekusi foto – tai aštrios akies ir individualios vizijos rezultatas.

Taip, tačiau mano fotografija labai priklauso nuo vieno techninio įrankio. Be šio prietaiso  apie 97% mano fotografijos nebūtų atsitikę.

I never find photo inspiration  inside the city. It’s too much of details, background mixes with forefront.  Escaping from London’s abundance, I followed downstream Thames path to the open space. Found some nice derelict industrial corners.

………………………

LT. Mano ranka visada nusvyra  fotografuoti miesto aplinką. Per daug detalių, antrinis planas veliasi su priešakiniu ir apskritai neįkvepia. Bėgdamas nuo perkimšto Londono sekiau takelį Temzės pakrante. Tiek nedaug tereikėjo, kad pasiekti platesnę erdvę.. Radau jaukius apleistus pramoninius kampelius.

Canary Wharf – London’s financial centre, office place for Barclays, Citigroup, Clifford Chance,  HSBC, J.P. Morgan, KPMG, Thomson Reuters and the other major financial  giants. Overall it’s  soulness place – the symbol of capitalism.

This time, looking through a camera lens the context doesn’t matter. Instead, I concentrate on the direction of lines, and relation between the sky and shapes.

……………………

LT.  Canary Wharf – Londono finansinis centras, bedvasis kapitalizmo simbolis.

Tačiau atsiribojant nuo konteksto galima rasti įdomias linijas ir harmoningą formų išsidėstymą erdvėje.

It’s over, but I’m dreaming about Winter. Opening my archives.

………………………………

I always went around this photo in doubt.  It has correctly composed lines, but very simplistic,  minimum of content. Even so in some way it catches attention, creates strange feeling.

Pole with  non standard form plate against the dull sky, some hand written numbers, some strange winter mood.. Though it’s pointless to look for symbols, confusing..

I acknowledge the attention this photo grabbed from me and include it to Winter album. Revealing the intrigue – it’s mark of foresters on foredune near the sea coast in Curonian Spit.

………………………..

Another from the same series:

…………………………..

This one I call one off my most meaningful ones. Wide open space on the frozen lagoon – the fishing poles create some order or rules on the wide space.  The wind is free here and the flag implies that. I have no notion to apply the broad meaning of flag symbol.  Emotionally it feels for me like fluttering soul in the abyss of beautiful space.

From the same space:

When the silence sings. (The following wood is not included to Winter album, as doesn’t have printing quality.)

 evening time; another shadow I found on my white wall.

vakaras, ant savo baltos sienos radau naują šešėlį.

The evening sun comes through my window and the objects meet their shadows on the white wall.  Things become alive. With these pictures I’m starting ‘Still life’ album.

…………………………

LT. Per langą apsilanko vakaro saulė,  daiktai pabunda, sutinka savo šešėlį. Šiomis nuotraukomis pradedu natiurmortų albumą .
