Do not go gentle into that goodnight
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
You’re probably much more likely to be thinking of poor old Yorrick and a Danish prince than my favourite poet when you look at Jenn’s amazing study of light and death. But it put me in mind of Dylan Thomas.
Who knows whether he’d have had anything to say about pinhole photography – but we’ve just finished celebrating worldwide pinhole day and are about celebrate Dylan Thomas’ centenary. And with it being Rachel’s usual day for writing the Front Page but her being away from all the internets in the Land of her Fathers… sometimes seemingly random events collide this way.
And while you’re thinking about all that – spare a moment to admire the amazing light streaming through the window and illuminating the brow of that skull. A scene that was shot through a peppermint tin with a hole made — most likely — by a sewing needle. Light captured on a sheet of photographic paper for the time it takes to boil an egg.
