skein + emission trying to convey for those who don't travel thru virtual space, imagine now if you will these things moving in and out of field at inordinate speed, groups of particles moving simultaneously as if part of an emission or spew barely in control, but then things flickering in and out of the image/space at more than inordinate speed, as if the space itself were the interior of a camera shutter, the spaced flipped in and out of position, captured for an instant - which is what occurs in the making of these images, requiring, as they do, split-second coordination between eye and hand - and so often one misses the landscape, ends up with slabs blocking the way! - you might compare it to hunting, but it's different, there's no prey in the foreground, you're trying to capture the background, avoid the prey in fact - so it's as if you're the prey itself, trying to avoid the hunter - the presence of the hunter - looking for background safety-haven - it takes timing - http://www.alansondheim.org/ skine jpg series
