Aesthete TV 1

Finally, a reality TV show for the finely tuned aesthete.

The camera sits stationary for the full half hour.  Nothing much happens for 15 minutes, then the parts snap into place for an instant, before 15 more minutes of nothing much.

As someone somewhere must once have said, "Through a single teardrop, seas ye can see."

The picture here is from episode 1: When Clouds Line Up with Trees.  I thought about this shot (at McCarren Park) for weeks; when it finally presented itself, it was as hard to capture as a shy rhino.
