A Quarantine Photography Idea

Stuck inside? Locked down? In quarantine? Going mad?

Try looking for images in places you might never have considered. Like right in front of your big Roman schnoz.

For artificial motivation, give yourself a little “project”.

My personal indoor challenge: “Create a portfolio of abstract, monochrome, high-key, images suitable for ginormous–yuuuge–enlargement and exhibition in some super-high end property somewheres (sic).”

I’m imagining these as giant 18×12-foot murals in the massive open-air lobby of some five-star New York Hotel. (But not Trump Tower.) Price tag: $12,500 per piece (plus shipping and sales tax). Nearby, I would post my artist statement–some completely incomprehensible nonsense that everyone would read whilst nodding their heads oh-ever-so-sagely.

An artist statement something like this, perhaps:

“As momentary replicas become distorted through frantic and critical practice, the viewer is left with a new agenda of the inaccuracies of our existence. What starts out as yearning soon becomes manipulated into a tragedy of defeat, leaving only a sense of chaos and the chance of a new synthesis. Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the essential unreality of the zeitgeist.”

; ) (Yep, I’m bored.)

Stay safe… and as clean and spore-free as these over-bleached (and over-thought!) photographs…
