Type of cyan.

This is a cyanotype print i made last year. It's an old photo printing process developed by Sir John Herschel in 1842. You print a negative onto transparency and paint a piece of absorbant paper with a mildly photosensitive chemical solution (in the dark). When it's dry, you fasten the negative transparency onto the paper and take into the sunlight to expose. The sun is like a giant enlarger. Old processes are fun :)

Nothing is original.

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak ...directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."

— Jim Jarmusch

Isochronous

What a good day this was. Good music = Isochronous, good food = avo and chips rolls, good company = Ruan en Wikus.

Kidofdoom

Wikus het onder die boom gelê en slaap terwyl Kidofdoom hul sound check gedoen het.

Today was not an ordinary day.

This is what Van Morrison and I did one afternoon. This is what i see in my room. Physics and optical laws and 20 black bags equals magic on my wall. I have an upside down view of what's outside. This is how it all started! I might have to take it all down soon.  

Gossamer Wings.

Delicate things, monstrous up close.

You Were Late.

'Spider' seems too ordinary and simple a word when addressing this one. He looks angry, like you've kept him waiting. It looked like he might spring to life any moment while i was shooting him.
