Balancing the natural but rapidly fading sunlight with the artificially generated radiation is part of the sport here. Employing tighter cropping on the gyration disk, once again I made a series of exposures for HDR processing. This time the foreground ghosts of those passing-by are less distinct due to the longer exposures involved. With these spinning wheel images, I address the concept of non sequitur ritualized compulsions and the authenticity of human emotional experience.
“Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.” - Henry James
