On my daily ride to work in the early hours of the day when it is still dark in winter months some scenes always attracted me. On an early Sunday morning I finally started to capture what attracted me.
The first couple of images worked quite well for me but I was a bit frustrated because the series turned into a collection of street lights. This was not what I wanted. So the project went to sleep.
In 2022, inspired by photographers like Giacomo Brunelli, Alisa Resnik, and Keith Carter whose work I admire because it is not always technically perfect and sharp, I resumed the project. This time instead of using a tripod and aiming for perfect sharpness I went for quick handheld shots with high iso settings and open aperture allowing unsharpness, grain and technical non-perfectness if the image transported what I felt.
This is the current state of the work.
It lives as a handmade Leporello printed with a laser printer on rough sketching paper. I like the graininess of this printing but looking for some better method retaining the rough, uncoated paper.
