Elliott Wilcox, Courts

Courts examines representations of the enclosed spaces of sports courts. In photographing the empty courts, absent of the fast paced action we are so familiar with, these environments reveal themselves in a new light. The camera shows details that the viewer can see closely, revealing many subtleties that usually go unnoticed. The vivid stains, ball marks, blood and scratches force the viewer to focus on these details rather than just the court.

The Human Clock

Humanclock.com shows a photograph of the current time, with the photo changing every minute of the day (all 1,440 occurring minutes on Earth!) Thus you end up with a rotating picture clock sorta deal. How the time is actually displayed is a whole different matter. A lot of photos have the time written on a crummy cardboard sign, while other photos might have the current time in a more edible format, such as olives. There are photos below sea level and ones over two miles above sea level. There are even clock pictures with people who played at Woodstock.

Eivind Natvig, Photographer

-The spectacular in nothing: This is another norway, not the traditional beauty of fjords and spring-images of blonde girls, but the beauty of daily life and dull realities. Something hard to define, it's an outsider's view, like window shopping. Frames stolen from the a movie about norway that's never been made. If you take a look and freeze it, there is a lot of beauty there. It's full of things so normal that they've become invisible to us -- as individuals. As a culture. But it's an insider's view too. An introvert take on the familiar. A foreigner's account of his own homeland. An exploration of the exotic within the mundane. It's all true, but like the place itself and the people who call it home, it's riddled with contradiction.

Although Elvind Natvig and I do not speak the same language, I feel like I know exactly what he means when I look at his photographs. He believes that everything is extraordinary and truly lives in the moment each time he clicks the shutter. He encourages the rest of us to do the same. How can you not after viewing his work?
