night view

NightVision

Is Night gentle?

Night closes doors forever
Night cures my soul as a medicine
In Night should’nt be doubted ever
Night sense increases to everything
At Night you can shed your tears
At night we are flying to planets
At Night always deadens fears
At Night we are full of violence
At Night you will close embraces –
And Night this caress will cover
At Night you’ll remove your dresses
And God blesses you, my lover
In Night rises dizziness and passion
At Night you’re with itself alone
At Night - reign, you’re free in action
At Night nothing keeps in your soul
Night reconciles spirits, right you’re
At Night it is useless to wager

In Night it is stuffy and frightful
Tonight I shall leave you like voyager...

Markelov Vladimir




I find the poem above succeeds in describing these various night states.
And as I have been practicing night photography for quite a while I decided to move on with this project.
Grain and cold shades are my main tools. Nightvision mode in the camera as well.
The context: night and the subconscious.

project Mnimes

A big thank you to Dr T. Grammenos who selected and used two of my photos from my project Mnimes as visual material for the Philosophy of Art module at Cardiff University. The title of the seminar was Art and Interpretation.
There is much more work to do on this project which is quite personal as I actually deal with how I perceive and interpret my images of memories. Eventually I will edit the photos with the notes/poetry I work on so that hopefully it could be published.

updates

Ι have been spending most of my time taking photos, creating my galleries in deviant art and aveth.net and enjoying my tendinitis- my fault for playing with various new Photoshop things.

So here I am with http://aveth.deviantart.com/

aveth.net will take a while, at least I found a good web designer.

The following posts are similar to the journal entries in dA. I mainly post them for Kleopatra and Vasilis.

recent work

A while ago, I started taking pictures in the surrounding area of my new home. First reason because it was my immediate visual source, second as a method to find alternative ways of seeing, hoping that this will improve my mood and opinion on this new landscape. My feelings are still mixed.

Friday the 13th

Spare the seriousness of the title as it is mainly connotative and personal.
After visiting my friends' blogs- Vasilis and Kleopatra are dwelling upon it- I decided to keep an online visual and thinking record of whatever. Punctuality and systemic use not guaranteed.
