Haptic shots

Re: Haptic shots

Hi John,
of course! though the second more than the first. As Pol says it, the kitten is instantly accessible and unambiguously remeniscent of those sensations. My first reaction to the sillouettes was wondering what the object of their attention was before tuning into their actions, so for me it was less immediate as it prompted more thought than instant body-rapport.

I wonder if this is a case of you having a strong memory attached to the image that fills in the sounds and feeling and significance that are quite hard to read for us? (is it an illuminated installation or a hue-shifted spot light on a white wall? are they touching a surface like a balloon or waving their hands in the air?...)

thanks, nice ones

Ah, I see what you mean about the silhouette. It was taken at the science museum in London and the children were touching a giant interactive screen that changed colour in response to their touch. However, I can see that if the subject needs explaining, then it isn't really a haptic shot.

Re: kids science shot

Hi John,
thanks for the clarification. It is a very haptic shot but shows how some shots are context dependent and others not. I love the hands of the kids which are a beautiful and complete motif on their own. There's nothing graphically stronger than a sillouette on a coloured ground like that too (think ipod campaign).

thanks

Hi Patmore,
great snow story! and great madonna and child shot! it's got touchy feely in spades and a big side-order of loving gazes. :-)

Yes I agree, that's a hands-on-picture for sure.

I imagine setting up that photo caused a few problems.
