Man of Milan

What I like about "Man of Milan" is that it looks like a painting created with oil paint and palette knife. Of course, it is not an oil painting but a painting by camera (as I call it). I took this image on a canal in Milan.

Furry Light & Chimes

My initial synesthetic response to this image is one of texture, but I also hear the sound of chimes. It depends on where I focus my eyes. For example, if I focus my eyes on the filament-like edges of the shapes in the top row, I instantly feel texture against my skin. But if I shift my attention to their color and arrangement, the texture disappears and the sound of chimes both surfaces and dominates, as if texture and sound traded places in the layers of my consciousness. It works like this:

First, I hear the fifth shape (yellow) in the top row. Next, I hear the yellow shape to its right which is slightly diminished. Then, the sound travels right to left, as the four white shapes -- along with the other less defined shapes beneath the row -- pick up and repeat the original yellow sound in a sequence typical of what I hear when a rectangular metal chime is hit with a hammer.

Light Painted With A Wide Brush

It looks to me like Nature took one of its widest brushes, dipped it in a bucket of light and swoosh, painted this image on the velvet of the Arno River in Florence. It also looks to me like texture or thread.

Violin Music

I remember thinking wrinkled water just before I took this picture.When I felt myself climb into the shadows between the folds, I took the picture. If you turn "Violin Music" upside down, it becomes cello which is actually the sound I heard the night I took the picture.
