What we call "relief "—that is, the apparent standing out of the object from its ground—is effected by the contrasting of light and shadow. So, would you produce breadth and splendour of effect, join together masses of light objects and corresponding masses of dark objects. Again: to get harmony and softness sink some objects wholly or partially in shadow, and let their outlines be insensibly lost in the ground. Finally: to create vivacity and spirit make, in some parts of the picture, abrupt breaks and sharp transitions.
Lights and Shadows in a Picture: Their Use and Value [Root's "Camera and Pencil"] reprinted in The British Journal of Photography, April 9, 1875, Vol.XXII, No.779, p.177.

| | Oct 10, 2011 | Frederick H. Evans: Cathedrals | | | |
Frederick Henry Evans, a former bookseller turned photographer, was a perfectionist, whose photography, both architectural and portrait, is remarkable for the purity of line and mastery of light, space and composition. His platinum prints of English and French cathedrals are quite outstanding. When platinum became scarce after 1914, he stopped printing altogether rather than use an inferior product. He supported his own photography by working as a freelance photographer for Country Life.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Venice
White swan of cities, slumbering in thy nest
So wonderfully built among the reeds
Of the lagoon, that fences thee and feeds,
As sayeth thy old historian and thy guest!
White water-lily, cradled and caressed
By ocean streams, and from the silt and weeds
Lifting thy golden filaments and seeds,
Thy sun-illumined spires, thy crown and crest!
White phantom city, whose untrodden streets
Are rivers, and whose pavements are the shifting
Shadows of palaces and strips of sky;
I wait to see thee vanish like the fleets
Seen in mirage, or towers of cloud uplifting
In air their unsubstantial masonry.
The Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Boston, Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1881), Volume 2, p.381

Last night was the Opening Reception: for Lawn Lighthouses by Heather L. MacLeod at Studio 21 (Halifax, NS, Canada) and that reminded me that I need to purchase a whirligig.

My inspiration and influences range from Renaissance art to Dadaism and Surrealism, from Picasso to the flotsam and jetsam that I pick up on my walks by the sea near my home.
