After visiting Veliky Ustyug, I had to definitely stop by the river...But which one? They are all dear to me! If anything, there are already three rivers in Ustyug: Sukhona + Yug =The Northern Dvina. I chose an approximate place of confluence so that no one would be offended. Where everything begins to mix, but has not yet formed into one river.
The coastal landscape, of course, is more like North Dvina than Sukhona...
But I went fishing more on the Northern Dvina than on the Sukhona.
I decided to reflect these childhood memories with the help of details...or even patterns, textures.
...Poorly, very poorly! I can say that I just groped, just realized how to work with feelings and memories, and I was distracted by that bright sunset in the previous post.
But I got it. I have a diary here...state of feelings calendar. And right now I'm broadcasting an idea to myself in a post that I need to remember and at least try to implement.
With the help of a time machine diary, you need to immerse yourself in some vivid moments of the past and try to find some details from these memories in the present.
If I give an example along the banks of the Northern Dvina, then these will be empty cans, willow slingshots stuck in the water for rods, empty packs of "Prima" cigarettes (you can't find that now)...willow roots sticking out like ropes...mother-and-stepmother burdocks...wooden boats...yellow sand...
Why would I do that? I have many pictures that are portals to the past, even if they are in a small format from film.
But there are no memories in the form of a picture at all.
That is, it will be a very long time ago, because I started photographing 25 years ago.
Oh, yeah...all this will have to be created in Veliky Ustyug or Krasavino...After all, my childhood was there.
I won't find it anywhere else.
Or maybe try to create new patterns using this type, here and now... something that touches this minute.
It has become more difficult because, although I have freed myself from the reporting wave, I am still stuck in some kind of framework, prejudices...somewhere far away in the depths of my soul, it is important to me whether the viewer likes the picture or not.
And I want to (at least try for a while) get rid of all anchors so that there is only a pure response from space and sensations. It's a good way to work on yourself!
