The Amazing Work of  Larry Landolfi

When I moved to Kodiak, Alaska in May of 1980, I wasn’t there a day when I called my dad (the ‘photo-bug’ of the family) and told him to send me a camera, any camera, and send it quick. The camera was from a camera company I’d never heard of before or since (Bessler), but more importantly I was well on my way into the wonderful world of photography. Astronomy has always been another ‘love of my life’, and I think it shows in a lot of the composite photos shown here.

  About a dozen years ago my youngest brother Joe told me I should get into computers and this thing called Photoshop. Told me it was right up my alley in what I tried to take 'in camera’. I flat out told him I already had 2 hobbies that were costing me thousands of dollars and really couldn’t afford another one. So glad I never took my own advice. Larry Landolfi
  I’ve been a successful stock photographer at ScienceSource.com (formerly PhotoResearchers.com) since 1996. http://ift.tt/19cXwHj
  Praise be to God for all the wonders of the universe and on this beautiful, temporary home called Earth.

Abstract Sculpture by Ian Thomson

British artist Ian Thomson creates abstract sculpture.  That seems like an impossibility - to create an abstract form from the concreteness of a stone like marble.  So how does Ian Thomson find those abstract forms in marble? Philosophically:

Kierkegaard said that when one perceives that one does actually have complete freedom of action, one experiences great dread. The only way out is a leap of faith. The only object of faith is the absurd. Ian Thomson VIA

What about practically?

When I work, I know exactly, down to almost the last detail, what I am going to do. I have, from experience, found that I get better and quicker results that way. Extra time spent on the maquette (a usually small preliminary model), saves time carving. Not all sculptors work this way…

Attacking the raw marble block with large power tools and filling a wheelbarrow with 100 kilograms of marble off-cuts per day and going home very tired, is also satisfying. So is delicately finishing the sculpture with tools such as a dentist would use, and seeing it come to life. Ian Thomson VIA
