Negative Vision

Those of you who get the online Photo Magazine, F/11, may have read the article 'Negative Vision', and those who don't subscribe to the free magazine may want to take a look.

Hennric Jokeit works in the 'Negative Space'. Philip Ursprung wrote eloquently of Jokeit's work..

"His decision to use negative images challenges our way of looking and perceiving. The images he produces cannot be grasped within a split second. They require time for our eyes and brain to adept to the negative image, step, by step. Confronted with the negative depictions, we are invited to concentrate on the specificity and singularity of each image. It also allows us to focus more clearly on issues such as composition and formal arrangement.." open the article to read more if you are interested. The whole magazine is always worth a humbling read.

This is something I'd never thought of, so I decided to have a play, and found it was a lot harder than it appears to get anything worthwhile - no surprises there

If you also decide to experiment/learn something new, feel free to add to my attempts

It does seem challenging and I think I'll give it a go. Your work above is very inspiring and should give our members something to chew on for a while (for those with teeth!)
BTW, #2 and #4 for me.

The bamboo is my favorite love the texture. Hang that on the wall in a flash.
