A Roll Through Charles Taylor's Photographs

Spilling the Paint

     I always remember the scene in the bio-pic on Jackson Pollock where the artist spills some paint accidentally and that leads him to his rhythmic swirling of paint on canvass.
     In my own small way, I dream of the accident that can lead to new approaches in my own photographic work.
     One comes up with new ideas one can't afford, that require a studio for instance, plus a good bank of lights and models. Maybe in the future.
     Right now, I am off to make the flatness of the image an advantage, to push the colors, and to see beyond composition to total design. How can I make a photograph look like wallpaper, or a beautiful tablecloth, in miniature?
