My favourite clothespin


part of an occasional series




the clothespin lends itself to backlighting
best when its materials are translucent, or
when perspective generates an articulate profile.

interior reflection can save the day.

a chorale of static white orthogonals,
suggesting Neutra or Meier, creates an
almost oppressive grid against which
the supple human cloth is rumpled by an
illuminating, underlying torsion.

  1. I really enjoy it when people leave comments on even bygone posts. Your interior reflection is an entire renewable universe. An occasional series to watch for.

  2. Kind of you to remark on this entry; I am very impressed by both pictures, and each one independently suggested keeping an eye out for the clothespin at its best. There is a 2nd entry in the series.

    Most of what we do in this "vertical," scrolling format is not really by-gone, and like you I appreciate an exchange on any "date."
