ringmaster

In this life, nothing is ideal, its a series of small events, movements, instances, that come together. You try and capture it as it is, not how you'd like it to be. We're all leashed. We're all Bound. The Ringmaster calls the shots, be it whoever you think it is: god, fate, destiny, science, nothingness. Who is at the end of the rope; does it lead you to or from the subject? its all interpretation. There is no such thing as perfection in real life. Most things never come close. I do not desire to have perfect images. If i wanted that, I would hole up and do studio work. When working with wild animals, even those being paraded around on a stage, they control you. You record what you see.

There is no use in any of that. That is my stand on things.



I bring you what I see and what want to portray. Please, dissect my concepts all you want, I love to hear what you have to say.


Thank You for your time,

love,

deir.


Technicals:


Secondary Category: Conceptual
Tertiary Category: Darkroom

Where: Naples Zoo, Florida.
What: Clouded leopard? maybe maybe not. It may have started with an S. I shall go back and see.
Hardware: canon 300d, tamron 70-300 lens. ISO 1600 i think.
Post Processing, reduction of all the channels except yellow and a touch of red. Contrast adjusted. Hence the noise. and no film grain or texture grain, because that doesnt look nice.

I have some film shots hopefully. i'll develop them soon.
