About Thomas Martin Eads |
|||
| A photonic evocateur thinks that his electromagnetic questions are gentle, like a lover’s hand, tracing contours, making beauty sensate. |
|
||
| But what is revealed depends on the state of the subject, changing as forces play out. These images reveal structure but only hint at dynamics. They suggest that a scene is "out there", its properties fixed. But that place will never be the same. And these images never show how embedded the photographer really is: interacting, exchanging, integrated with the world. | |||
| If my skill is sufficient, and you are receptive, you will see that the image, a metaphor, refers back to you: the one who has been interacting, exchanging, integrated with the world all along. | |||
| The photonic evocateur will be fluid, compliant, quiet, and attuned. He hopes that his images, the answers to questions he posed, report to you a hint of the mystery out there, so that you may position yourself appropriately. | |||
