The last time I shot this was in 2011, in Veliky Ustyug, when there were severe frosts. But then I didn't even know about the existence of graphics or what a thematic series of photographs was.
This time in Belozersk, I already realized that different angles of the same story could be suitable for a thematic graphic series about smoke from chimneys at frosty dusk.
It's good when there are height differences!
From a height, the urban landscape stretching into the distance is more visible than ever, where only smoke from pipes can be taken into the frame, excluding the sky.
Or the sky will be so minimal that it won't matter.
In theory, this should be shot at night at long exposures.
What I once did in Kichmengsky Gorodok.
Then, too, it was exactly the same frost, if not stronger ..
Those photos were included in a couple of books and lit up at one exhibition.
These do not apply anywhere, although I also thought about the past ones.
I'm just filming something that steals my attention.
This is the most important thing in creativity, when there is no hidden intention to please someone or get somewhere.
This is appreciated most of all in any creative field, when a person does something from the heart selflessly.
You don't have to wait for someone to notice your pictures and they will gain some value.
You just need to enjoy the process and not think about anything.
The process must take place here and now. The power of the memory code and the frequency of vibrations used to create a creative product in such conditions are the most incredible!
And that's when you start to be noticed, by the strength of the vibrations and their frequency.
And when there is an intention to make someone notice you, to please someone, then this is also recorded and the frequency of vibrations will be different. People will feel it and they will be turned away from you.
