Many years ago I discovered Tomas Homqvist’s series of photographs, made with a halfframe camera, at Swedish photo community. Since then the series have continued to fascinate me. Now it is a honour to have the possibility to present some of his photographs on the F blog.

Images of real life situations have within them the elements
of physics, math, art, and the laws of light and time all in
one moment, all in one frame.



It's no surprise that a black and white photograph

will contain elements that will make for a contemplative
composition and seemingly intentional design -
not as random as some may believe.



Time and time again I see these elements, objects,
people "fall together" within the frame of an image
as though one had planned it's layout
(or design) very carefully.




Yet no more than a call to our mind's eye was
needed to find and respond to a moment in time,
the elements there-in, and to focus a lens and
click a shutter.



We are (the structure and the elements) and therefore
we see and respond to them .. even if only
by our intuition.
