Remember in the old days when you would accidentally double expose a photo and you’d be a little bummed when it didn’t turn out perfectly, but secretly pleased because the double exposure was super cool? Me too I mean, I’m not nearly old enough to remember that, but perhaps you are. 😉 Anyhoo.. these photographs by Mississippi born NYC artist Timothy Pakron have me longing for the days of happy photographical accidents.
Wash Away, archival inkjet print, edition of 5, 40×40
Lazy Blue Eyes, archival inket print, edition of 5, 40×40
His blurred figures take on a bit of a ghostly quality and we can’t be quite sure whether or not we can trust our own eyes.
Distance, archival inkjet print, edition of 5, 40×40
Fade, archival inkjet print, 40×40
These could almost take on a slightly sinister quality, but I prefer to see them as a bit day dreamy. Like that hazy fog between sleep and wakefulness, there is a pleasant light-headedness to them that I completely dig.
