Variations

 The following couple of pics are variations of those I posted recently, taken during a visit to the Modern 2 Gallery in Edinburgh.

I'm always looking to add some of my own aesthetic into the images I capture. However, I have to admit that, to date, I have never been able to pin down just exactly what that surreptitious aesthetic actually is; it seems to me that I have a very eclectic compendium of 'styles' in my head dark, contrasty mono's, soft milky landscapes that might (if they were good enough) border on Pictorialism.

It's while contemplating these things, that always seems to bring my thoughts back to what is, for me - a foundational question: why did I take that picture in the first place? What did I see? Some of the pics I take are just utterly non-descript, so I have to imagine that I saw something there which my aesthetic eye wanted to capture, but which the resultant e-neg proves was not there.

Anyway, I ruminate. 

Here are the pics with a kinda misty look that I enjoyed bringing together in PS.
