Via the topmost link in his blog's
list of other pages to visit, I
discovered a small portfolio of
photographs of factory workers by
the 20th Century master, Robert
Doisneau, which naturally do put
one in mind of Valéry Lorenzo's
incessant explorations of the ac-
tivity of light. It strikes me,
his restlessness is somewhat like
that of light, itself, unwitting
and free in its associations, un-
blinking in unsparing identifica-
tion. Possibly, we contemplate a
boldness in any engagement with
illumination: its impartiality.

The light is my paint, my eyelashes my brushes. (I always supported my photographs with the image of a painting whose colors are to be interpreted as you do (like nobody else)). Doisneau said "There are people who have the courtoisie to live before writing." I love this modest point of view even if I am not at Doisneau's level.
Thank you very much Monsieur !
I apologise for the late reply, Valéry. I thank you for accepting this impression of your relationship with light and for these illuminating corrections. We are privileged to glimpse your consciousness of being part of a tradition in its exploration and 'usage,' which naturally enriches considerably our sharing of it.
DeleteThank you again for visiting rmbl and for engaging all readers in your remarks; this fortunate gesture is one of the rewards of sustaining the page, and a keen sustenance in rewarding its ventures.
