When you know how black & white infrared film works and reacts to different colors and light, you can translate anything you see into infrared; like speaking another language but visually. The contrasty crackled texture of a 120-year-old hotel wall with a doorway to ascending stairs frames light crashing through like a class 5 rapid. I was so close to presenting this photo upside-down. Then it becomes an abstract of a torch or, as my friend Cynthia D’Vincent pointed out, “a foaming glass of homebrew.” |
