This week's thread yielded detail on a number of levels. Argyle socks (of course), walnuts, audiobooks, Scandinavian noir, the frequency, pitch & tone of midges' wings (and the pros & cons of midi), previously unknown insects. We discovered details about Christer's wild & misspent youth, David's penchant for selfies in art gallery doorknobs, Gennifer's hankering to live in an alley with rizole's football & green bucket, and everyone's agreement that Gouvy should enter her fabulous 'Columns' image in a comp. And more -- but I fear if I start on the inglenooks I shall rapidly lose all sense & reason.
Then there were the images. Details of, paying attention to, hidden detail, lost detail, magnified detail, colourful detail, poignant detail, wrought iron detail . . .
First: I stopped on rizole's 'Witness' image (one of the first posts) and thought it had everything: I could write a paper on everything that works so well for me in this image - and probably did, in the comments. His 'Numerical Detail' made me think twice because of the levels and types of detail it offers (nottomention the conversation that arose around it
) . . . But for me it's hands down rizole's 'Witness'
Second: PicsbyJCG's 'Retro' vignette of Swedish 70/80's - again, many levels of detail. That godawful wallpaper, the iconic radio, the . . . I guess the visual 'ambiance', and Christer's vivid word-picture (I keep forgetting English is a 2nd language for you, Christer
) which started another thread of conversation.
Third: terse, or I should say 'Ted & Lorraine' - a different kind of detail again. A detail of a corkboard of images, mementos, cartoons and whoknowswhat that invites us into their home, their lives & their history for a moment. I wanted to ask about every single piece on that board. Why that cartoon? What is the Russian thing? Who is the beautiful young woman in the photo? And of course we were all entranced by the story of a very young Lorraine and chickens [and other things that shall not be named]
