This is the first posting in my second photographic website. It’s a whole new adventure for me because my other website “santafeandme.photos” is what would be called traditional photography. And most of the images on that website are black and white. These Forgotten Dreams images on the other hand, are more open-ended. They go where they go. It’s a little more open process than santafeandme.photos.
The name of “Forgotten Dreams” emerged as the title and how I came to that is a mystery to me. But it seems to work with the kind of imagery I’m interesting in creating: composites and multiple exposures.
This is the first image. If that looks like an RV to you you’d be correct. That represents a dream that was forgotten, but not completely so, for a long time. Now it’s here and being able to take off to parts unknown with it (and the dogs) is a major dreamlike event for me. It’s a solar-powered photographic studio on wheels and an expeditor of photographic pursuits among many others.
For the techy-types out there. The van in question is a Winnebago Solis Pocket. It’s the smallest and least complex van conversion that you can find, unless you build it yourself. I purchased it used from a dealership in Ft. Meyers, Florida…very far from Santa Fe where I live. It is a photo studio, gourmet restaurant and home-away-from-home. I have a hunch that it will figure in several images as I embark on this photographic journey.
For a pleasant surprise, I suggest clicking on this thumbnail for the uncropped, full sized view. What you see on top is an image that has been cropped by the web design software. “Square” is the correct and original ratio for this image. Click!
