Echoes in Bronze

National Gallery of Art – Washington, D.C. The Acrobat (c. 1928) by Gaston Lachaise

The Acrobat captures the human form in a moment of pure athletic energy, balance, and rhythm. Frozen mid-motion, the bronze figure flexes with dynamic grace, while a sharp gallery spotlight casts a dramatic shadow against the wall – amplifying the sculpture’s expressive contours into a timeless study of light, form, and silhouette.

Good Night

A vist to an old farm produced this picture of the bedroom. I must admit I was so tired at this point I could just have laid down and slept a while.

Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C..

She walks with her eyes closed, her hand reaching for something no one else can see. This is Lady Macbeth in her final unraveling – the sleepwalking scene from Act V, captured in white marble by German-American sculptor Elisabet Ney in 1905, just two years before her own death.

Ney gave her not madness but something quieter and more terrible: a woman entirely alone inside her own mind, still trying to clean what cannot be cleaned.

That lens?

I purchased a “new” old lens the other day and wanted to try a portrait shot.I don’t know if you are like me with a new lens? I have to take one shot that justifies my expenditure. In this case this is the shot.My son arrived with his girlfriend. So it wasn’t difficult to ask them. The lens you ask?
A Nikon Nikkor 180mm f/2.8D. A dream lens I couldn’t afford in the 80’s.
