Horaijima, from a distance. This is how Horaijima looks from most all the places you can see it--beautiful, and very distant.

I'm rediscovering my love for working with negative space.

Yojne.

This is the best in the series, I think. I can tell you're enjoying working on the negative space. The sparseness of this is painterly. There's a lovely range of tones, too, considering how much of the image is whiteness.

I really love this one. While some may call the bottom wasted space, I think its very artistic and adds a lot of depth. I can see this hanging in a gallery, or being the cover of a poetry book. did you burn the corners just a little? it looks nice.

Thank you! Those are some high words of praise. I also really really like the negative space, too. The corners were vignetted naturally, actually--just one of the wonderful benefits of shooting film
