Black and Whitenuss

Listen now: “Blacknuss” – Rahsaan Roland Kirk

“The piano has fifty-two white notes, thirty-six black notes. On this tune we feature nuthin’ but the thirty-six black notes.” – Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Blacknuss

The first thing I did when I got my Mamiya was drag it out at night to Venice, CA. I shot some poorly-metered snaps in the dark. This is a rad building that has a hostel and a bar/restaurant (Danny’s Deli). Since this pic was taken, a new contact, Miscellaneous Bill, has helped be understand metering a lot more. I’m not sure it could have helped this photo, as a proper exposure would have then required a tripod.

This pic, as is, made Flickr’s “Interestingness” archives. I guess the minimalist blacknuss resonated with a few viewers. It was still more accidental than anything.

Black and white. Film. I’m getting deeper in.
