Fifty-Five Degrees

Photographer Unknown, (Fifty-Five Degrees East)

“It was a pity that there was no radar to guide one across the trackless seas of life. Every man had to find his own way, steered by some secret compass of the soul. And sometimes, late or early, the compass lost its power and spun aimlessly on its bearings.
― Arthur C. Clarke, Glide Path

Ten Images from the “A Hint of Blue” Series

“One colour. One word. So many shades. The color of african skin, of shadow on snow, of a jay’s throat, the color of saxophones at dusk, of orbiting police lights smeared across tenement windows, of a flame’s intestines, of the faint tracery of veins visible beneath the ghost-flesh of her forearm’s underside, of loneliness, of melancholy. The blues.”

― Alan Moore
