I have previously written of my admiration from afar of the late James Ravilious. Something about his soft pastoral scenes shot in B&W charmed me.

There can be a false peace that photography captures. As I stood in the snow storm photographing the dark forms half covered in snow I worried about my car being ticketed due to the impending parking ban.

Looking at the soft images you can't feel the bitter cold or sense my personal concerns regarding possible monetary restitution for vacating my vehicle by the road.

What you can see is simply what the camera captured on a thin layer of silver dust caught in gelatin coating a piece of plastic in the camera. A thin plastic which I forgot for a while in the refrigerator and took out only to shake violently in developer and then scanned.
