Images!

"Now let's make some images," Gremlin says. The phrase has been sticking out at me all week - JJ says it, and Casarsa and Gremlin and bitter all say it... "Let's make some images". Watching them all I learn the difference, between taking pictures and making images. Pictures are the haphazard, streaky affairs, pale and red and shaky, that live in the little screens on the backs of cameras, good for a laugh and a pass around the table, then ready to vanish into memory and distance. Images are something else entirely. Images are on purpose. They do not look like whatever arbitrary rectangle of space they shared the light with. They start in the photogrpahers mind and get projected, out and back, with lights and battery packs and foundation make-up and low-lying clouds and glass. Images are on purpose and you need to work hard to make them. "When I make your image," double_p tells me, "I say, I see you, I remember."

Poletni večer v mestu

Pozno popoldne in večer v mestu. Sonce sije v že močno toplih barvah in dolge sence prekrivajo večino uličnih fasad... Še trenutek in zadnji žarki zbežijo nazaj v nebo. Toplota, ki so jo ves dan sipali na beton pa še kar vztraja in vztraja... in vabi v mesto.
