Study of Gerbera No. 1
Photo 15 x 20 cm, Frame 35 x 25 cm
Status: Found!
If you want to know why I abandoned my blog last month, here is the answer: I spent my time scanning my old photo films. And I have thousand meters of those films, it took me ages doing the job! Actually I'm still haven't finished the job. But now I'm taking a rest and working with the images in the films.
Among the films there are ones I took for doing an excersise for a photography workshop. The work was simple, shooting ten 36-frame film for only one object. For doing that I chose a gerbera. First 3 films went fine, but then it was very hard to find different perspectives of the flower. It was really hard and tired, I hated my teacher of photography, a very smart woman by the way, becasue of the task! But days later when I saw the result of the work I love her! She pushed me to open my eyes! While seeing the photos, I understood the aim of the excersise was to stimulate my "creative vision". I think it worked, I got nice photos and mostly I took them with the last films.
Study of Gerbera No. 1 is one of the image on the films. Now it is a photo and it will be a photo on the street soon, it might be on saturday or sunday! If you are the lucky person who find it, please leave a comment!
Dear Nino,
ReplyDeleteMy dog Archie found your photograph 'study of Gerbgera No.1' on Anchor Close (just off the Royal Mile, Edinburgh) this morning '06th May 12'.
Archie was frantically wagging his tale and was looking rather pleased with himself. I went over to investigate and discovered your piece of art. I must say that I liked it immediately but felt I shouldn't touch it, as it didn't belong to me. On further investigation, I discovered your note on the reverse side and to my delight found this was all part of your plan.
I am now the proud owner of one of your original 'abandoned photographs'. I love it, and will be mounting it on my wall this afternoon.
Kindest regards, Craig & Archie 'Royal Mile - Edinburgh'
ps, I will be happy to supply a photograph of Archie and your photograph should you require it.
Dear Craig,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your comment! Your story completes and enriches this project and now you're part of it. Of course, I thank Archi too because he found the photo yesterday! Clearly Archi is an educated dog, he likes art photography! Certainly, I would like to have a photograph of Archi and your "Gerbera", you can send it to the email address that you see in the note. I'll be glad to use such photo for a comment on the label "C.Found photos" if you agree.
I'm very happy to know that you like the photo and now you have it on your wall. Thanks again for your words!
Sincerely,
Nino C.C.
