I have long been intrigued by light and movement. I think a great deal of this comes from sitting behind a cinescope editing mountains of film, reeling it back and forth until just the right segment could be cut and taped in place. I have two artists who also have intrigued me since I was a wee child in high school: Marcel Duchamp and Edward Hopper. While distinctively different in style, the illusion or perhaps the allusion of both movement and the attention to light are very much incorporated into all of their works.
I was at Universal Studios in Orlando, Friday night and while traveling on the people movers (like those found in many large airports) I started a short series of shots whereas I rested the camera on the moving handrail, vibration and all, and began a series of differing exposures. The two presented in this series are harbingers of things to come as I plan to go back with a tripod and shoot an entire body of work just on these people movers.
There are two mover assemblies, north and south, so to speak with regular walkways on three sides. these two captures involve my carrier heading north, a static walkway between and a carrier heading south. I was a bit stymied by only having a 28mm and plan on going back with a 14-24 2.8.
