FREEZING TIME

Back from another trip, this time to Scotland.  While I was there I was lucky enough to see Hiroshi Sugimoto’s exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, including prints from his Lightning Fields and Photogenic Drawing series.  Online you'll find lots of images and reviews of his work written far more eloquently than I could ever manage, but the highlight for me was being able to see prints from original negatives made by William Henry Fox Talbot, one of the pioneers of photography.  Like stepping back in time 160 years.  Magical.
