Al Greco's Crete Photographs
Sunday, April 30, 2006
These photographs were created holding a big warped piece of glass in front of the lens.I was in Fodele, Al Greco's home village.I was making homage to the artist and I was also planning on imitating his work via the camera,I just didn't know how. An hour later after adorning his statue in the village with a few wild flowers I discovered my method of imitating the master.The glass I used as an adjustable lens which distorted with every slight bit of movement. Very heavy and difficult the results were one in 36.Here are some of my favorites. The people from Crete also admired them very much as a creative aspect to regular documentary photography.
