"Obsidian" reminds me of some of Brett Weston's ice photos:
Always had a thing for Weegee. (along with many other photogs that have inspired me over the years such a Cartier-Bresson, Penn, Araki).) But Weegee was one of my favs.
(See the DVD on the NY Photo League for lots of behind the scene info on Weegee. It is on Amazon.)
I had a nice audio recording for download at the Internet Archive of Weegee talking, but they deleted my account this week. 5-1/2 years work and 70,000 to 110,000 files gone. I didn't bother to keep copies of everything I put up there. Stupid me, I thought it was safe. Well, so much for cloud storage.
Weegee lived in much simpler times. He didn't have to worry about all that stuff in the film era
My homage to Paul Caponigro:

Several years ago I took a photography class at the local University to get up to speed on Photoshop etc. On the first day of class the instructor was going over the parts of the camera and when she got to the pop up flash she admonished us, "Never EVER turn in an assignment using the on camera flash, it creates harsh shadows". Our second assignment was to use a long or short shutter speed to show the different effects. When I hung this on the wall, she burst out laughing and all the 20 something students were looking at each other trying to figure out what was so funny. My only regret is that I sold my Heilman Flash years ago so some kid could make a litesaber...
That is hilarious, Bruce!
Great concept and execution.
Love, it, Bruce.

Most excellent.
Way back in school taking Basic Art 101 or something, the teacher would brow-beat student's work that had geometric shapes. When asked why, she responded, they are not interesting and too predicable bla, bla. When the teacher was asked what about all that work exhibited in the art department halls that have lots of geometric shapes, she responded, they know what they are doing.
I find it interesting that 'we' must now know every image ever made
What will do in the year 2525
