Oh, yes, Alexander. I would delight in having this triptych in my home. They would hold pride of place! Such calming composition in gray -- like the clean, crisp air on a misty day in the Scottish Highlands, they just suit me. Thanks for posting these beauties. I do like Mike Olden, but my choice for a musical accompaniment for this art might also be Bremer/McCoy's track "Drømmer"
Beautiful track, Sharron! Thanks for that. Perfect choice. Subscribed and faved. Did not know that artist. RE: Triptych, I should put up a link to order, perhaps. Or do a giveaway of the three A4 prints I still have somewhere...
I do photography too as a hobby but mine is all color because I'd color obsessed. But I have great appreciation for b/w especially evocative work like yours... Here's a link in case you wanted to take a peek https://arrivalsanddepartures.substack.com/p/springing-color
Beautifully done, and so different from past entries. I stared closely and thought definitely a photograph, but almost a deconstructed reality, indefinite objects floating in an alien field. Grasses in rice paddies? Only a guess based on travels you've referenced recently.
Thanks a lot, Troy! These are reeds in water approx. 5 mins from where I live, there's an artificial little river that flows through the Cœur de Ville here. I like what you see, though: "indefinite objects floating in an alien field." Beautiful.
Well, this probably says more about me than the photos, but 1 and 3 immediately made me think of broken glass and 2 of claws ripping through the picture. Yup, probably just me, but either way these are a really stunning set of photos, Alexander
I was listening to Moonlight Shadow from Mike Oldfield this morning. I remember first hearing of him when he did the theme tune to the kids TV show, Blue Peter. That was a long time ago!
Thanks, Daniel. I am with you on the claws, the shards of glass are new! Amazing how the mind works.
Moonlight Shadow, classic! You must have sent that through the ether. I did not know about the Blue Peter TV Show, learned something new and of course had to watch this! https://youtu.be/q4lb0gXOq4I?si=za1yMQZraAf9xVwp
Great selection of minimalist images that work well together as a triptych. Thinking in threes is one of my favorite ways to create images for display.
Some years ago I made a little web app called, "Photo Resonance", that presents a slideshow of images in groups of three. The creation process for making those is really fun and gets me thinking how images relate together not only visually, but thematically and conceptually as well.
Thanks a lot! Glad you like them. I haven't done a lot of triptychs and the ones I did were mostly focussed on transition. Thanks for the link, as well. Great to see more triptychs! I have some angelic ornaments from a small local graveyard, hm, I might have to do another triptych!
How lovely. They remind me of Lucio Fontana's 'Cuts' - those slashes into the canvas. There is so much negative space. It feels like we are in a different world, creating something out of a void.
oh. my. goodness. Those are so so beautiful!!! The second one especially felt very mysterious and I was super interested in what lurked behind the fuzzies.
Thanks, Nathan. Foto Friday phaser is set to stun. ;) The water that day was of a certain murkiness after a heavy rainfall, which makes for a dense texture and when developed in Black and White, a wee bit of dodge and burn, we get this - I think - very pleasing effect. These "Reeds in Water" have sold a couple of times, a very Zen like piece of decor, timeless, and you can have one, too!
And yes, Tubular Bells is what he is known most for I guess, Shadow on the Wall from the 1983 album Crises is also well known, I think.

Absolutely love these photos. They are individually lovely, but the three together are something else! Also, have to check out some more Oldfield.
Thanks a lot, Peter! Glad you like them.
These are beautiful!!
Thank you, Reena! Much appreciated.

Thanks, Reena! Lovely images.
If you are interested, there are a number of Foto Friday issues in colour as well: https://alexanderipfelkofer.substack.com/s/foto-friday
Subscribed!! Thank you. I like the idea of Foto-Friday. I may consider a photo stream too....
Happy to have you, thanks a lot!

Gorgeous diptychs. Thanks for the link!

Yes, the middle one makes me think of something beautifully strange emerging from the plane of a page.

I also had a sense of something clawing through for #2 😃
I love this triptych. The center panel to me looks like a bird’s-eye-view of willows in winter rising from a fog.
Excellent analogy, Daniel, and it shows that reception differs drastically from Daniel to Daniel ;) Each person reacts differently, I love that.

Go for it, once you start thinking in threes you start seeing all kinds of combos.

Thanks, Kate! Cuts! What a grand parallel. Quite right about negative space, surrounding the object is a vital part of the whole.

Thank you, Lucy! Much appreciated. Indeed, what might lurk beneath? The imagination runs wild!
These are ... wow ... What are these? Reeds in water? But also in pure snow? 😲 Stunning! (I'm using that word here a lot.)
I would very much enjoy that triptych hanging on the wall and the sense of stillness it would emit.
Ah, Mike Oldfield. I only really know his Tubular Bells.

It's so very Zen (Zinn). A calming piece to see, for sure. Amazing work. Such talent!
Thank you! And may Zinn find Zen, a few more beers... ;)
One can dream! Glad you like it, Nadia.
😃❤️❤️❤️ unlike the unsubs it garnered 😅
🤣😂 Everything happens for a reason. Peace unto all. And triptychs of Reeds in Water.
