Navigating unexpected currents in life, if I'm lucky, allows me to pull up on photographic resting places, as for example the B&W Paul Caponigro's (upcoming show in Maine, " The Hidden Presence of Places" ) and quiet time with work recently noted/pondered, (the "street" of RSL)
The consistent tone of sensibility, quiet, modest truth of moment, leitmotifs appearing in his shared work but from a physical point of view different from that of the Vietnam avatar had me wondering how intentional his POV impulse and how he viewed the POV. It is with appreciation for his thoughts in a separate message that I now realize how much for Russell it is rooted in his determination not to disturb/disrupt/intrude or change the moment, but (as an artist) to swiftly record it's florescence.
Inspiring community we share here at LuLa. And thank you Russell...
