Chords of Grey
As an artist we have certain tools at our disposal with which we can try to 'connect' with others or offer suggestions about what our art means to us and what we are aiming to convey.
In music there are seven notes in the musical scale. There are of course variations of these notes but ultimately it is these seven definitive points that are the musicians tools. In monochrome photography there are infinite variations of grey in the tonal scale from black to white but once again seven definitive points that can contain visual detail presented by the light we experienced.
The art of the monochrome photographer, as with the musician, is to not only understand these seven gradations but also to understand their relationships in the image, and, when they are finely adjusted in harmony with each other then, as with music, the piece of art comes to life.
