Moire
I was so excited when Mike Levad asked permission to use my picket fence in the snow picture for a permanent exhibition on science and art at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. The reason he wanted it, was that it showed the moire pattern.
Well, guess what ? It was a faux moire, generated by the computer screen rather than the photographer. So I will not be shown in a museum anytime soon. Crushing. I will probably have to wait until posthumidity, if then.
Undaunted soul that I am, I am combing the archives for more moire, and I have found some, though not the most artful shots that I have ever taken.
I also set about to stalk the wild moire, and to cultivate some homegrown varieties.
After awhile, it gets very hard to see if you actually have shot a pure moire.
Do you think any of these qualify?
