In this post I have combined two minor photographic projects, made a copy in the form of re-photography, and started to explore the idea of simulacrum in relation to photogprahy. Simulacrum is a Latin term denoting an image, likeness or semblance and this definition of the concept has obvious application to a medium characterised by its capacity to generate nearly facsimile copies.
The two minor projects are the nostalgic pleasures one, which involves using expired Fujifilm Superia 200 ASA film and a 1960's Zeiss-Ikon Contaflex S (SLR) with its nostalgia for and a deep sense of loss of a world disappearing. This is combined with the Roadside project, which involves exploring the various roadsides that I walk along in the morning and the afternoon.
The above roadside picture was made in the late afternoon in autumn with this photographic equipment.
