I apologize for the delay... I was sick for a while and now on the mend.
'Astronomatopoeia' is a made up portmanteau combining 'astronomy' and 'onomatopoeia'. It's also a catch-all name for the random (semi) daily black and white photos I take.
When walking around my neighborhood, I often look up at the clouds and tree tops and I like the way that bare tree branches look against the sky. It's as if there are cracks forming at the base of the atmosphere.
I also imagine the windshield of my car is a camera's view finder with the edges of the car composing a shot. With these parameters I have to further compose the image and choose the most interesting part.
Taking all this into account, sound plays a huge role in my attitude, thought process, and approach to photography or art making. Whether it's music, silence, or the ambient environmental sounds, it affects the way I think, which in turn, affects what I make.
Observation + sound = random photo named Astronomatopoeia
