PREVIEW: ‘Geronimo’s Candlelight’: Naked Eye Gallery
‘Geronimo’s Candlelight’: A stunning exhibition of photographic landscapes of the US deserts and canyons by Brighton photographer Stuart Michaels.
Geronimo’s Candlelight: A stunning exhibition of photographic landscapes of the US deserts and canyons by Brighton photographer Stuart Michaels.
Stuart says: “A few minutes after sundown in the California deserts, when all the tourists have deserted the viewpoints, a very beautiful thing happens. The sky glows softly, and then for a minute or two becomes the pure clean colour of rosé wine.
“I call it Geronimo’s Candlelight, because it is briefly astounding, and elusive – then gone.
“But what better way than the still image to let us catch, and linger over it? It permits us to pore over a single instant and savour it to our heart’s content. And what better places than the Yosemite National Park at sundown – or Death Valley, or Bryce Canyon at sunrise.
“For every successful landscape photograph, there are many, many failures. These are some of my successes. I hope you can find three minutes – or more – to look and enjoy.”
