In my quest to see light and shadow better I continue to look at things from different angles, focal points and intent. This photograph was made in the kitchen at Lacock Abbey. One of the worlds first photographs was made at this Abbey by Fox Talbot at a window in the main residence. I also made a photograph at the same window which I will post at a later date. My quest to see light and shadow continues.

Influences
This year I want to expand my visual vocabulary and my way of seeing. While I was in Europe this year and with that in mind I worked to try to see things differently keeping in mind images from the past that have moved me. This is an obvious homage to a famous image and while similar I feel that it is strong enough on its own to share. As I make images influenced by others I will continue exploring until I find my own true voice.

Nice work, Tim.
“You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you.”
― Alexander Den Heijer, Nothing You Don't Already Know
Tim: I really like your photograph at the Tate Gallery. I'm curious what image you had in mind when you took it? To me, the first thoughts that come to mind are Kertesz, who took pictures at a similar angle from his window (I'm thinking of one of a park in snow, can't remember the title), and Strand, whose "Wall Street" has some similarity in the scale of the people to the environment. Which goes to prove that photography is broad enough, and ambiguous enough, to allow all of us to see different similarities between a given image and those in our "memory banks." But your Tate is one image I would be happy to hang on my wall!
Thank you sir!
Mr. Lewin,
The image that popped in my head when I saw this shot was the Paul Strand Wall Street image. The background shapes, the motion, people, the light and the feel. When we went to the Tate Modern I was not particularly inspired by the exhibits (the Tate Britain on the other hand was spectacular) so I began looking for images. I was on the third floor looking down and saw this view. I had my Rolleiflex loaded with Acros 100 and it was quite dark in the building. If I remember correctly the shutter speed was 1/4 or 1/8 or something around there. With no tripod I hand-held the camera resting an edge on the railing. I was lucky to get this moment.
I love that fact that other accomplished photographers might want to hang an image of mine on their wall and am always happy to share. If you would like a print send me a PM with details and we can get something together for you.
Thanks again for the kind words.
Tim
