Light - A Journal of Photography & Poetry: Issue 12 - Finishing

By Jennifer Drucker

Ansel Adams elevated the importance of photographic print techniques, contending that "The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance." Reluctantly, we are concluding Light's publication. To bring this last year's thematic sequence to closure, we have solicited finished works.Photographers understand the necessity of perfectly focused and composed film negatives. But the celluloid documentation of light exposure is only the medium through which artists display their finest techniques and most creative insights.So we exhort poets to look at your collection of completed pieces. Consider what touches you might risk with a piece that has already reached its accepted finality. Would you, like an artisanal printer, enhance details by 'burning' them in with selective emphasis. Would you chance 'dodging' facets to enhance obscurity and ambiguity by making clear details less distinct. Whatelements might you polish to unexpected radiance with a few intuitive rewordings?
