Past Series, Series of the Past

Going through my archive (I've been looking for all the images I've taken of people ... waiting - more or less - ) I found these two image sets. They both delight me. And yet I've never known what to actually do with them. The first is a series of 3 images I took 4 years ago on my birthday 09/24/2005. I was flying back to new york from ... I'm not sure, but I think the project I was doing had something to do with studying the success of women who sign up to sell products in the home, like tupperware or gourmet chef. random. but interesting... anyway - I was in a little prop plane (oh! maybe I was coming back from Philly which would explain the tiny plane). And I was bored shooting out the window. I'd taken so many images out of plane windows at that point. So I decided to just mess around, and put the setting on sepia. Since I was in an old-timey plane and all. You know, typically I just ignore all the fancy settings like sepia, but like I said I was bored. (Actually... come to think about it, I've discovered many good things in life because I was bored.)






ah... back in new york....


The other 3 series (bmw reference. I only really know that because Anthony works on that advertising account and will - out of the blue - say 3 series, 5 series, 7 series - when he sees various models passing. it's completely involuntary I think. Perhaps a form of work-induced tourettes.) I found was this one I took in the summer of 2005. the images remind me of thinking, remembering. thinking about something that never quite took shape. or dreams unrealized. it's shorthand for longing.
