 Years ago, I embarked on a quest to create a whole new aesthetic that I called “Sizz”. People found it disturbing. Even now. But slowly a community formed around it. I don’t regret offending people with high contrast black and white. At least, this art is imbued with a piece of me. 7 comments
 @atomicpoet I LOVE high-contrast black and white. Definitely more interesting than the pablum that goes for corporate messaging illustration these days.  @atomicpoet @atomicpoet I don't find it disturbing. I keep trying to squint 😆 enough to see what the light is hiding.  @atomicpoet The high contrast reminds me of WW2-era recon photography. Except those were mostly aerial shots and a few side profiles of military and industrial things. The way some details disappear and emphasis shifts from the expected to other objects makes your images interesting to look at. Like, I know what I'm looking at, but I never looked at it like that. |

@atomicpoet I like it. It's a slice of life. High-contrast photography is usually harsh. It evokes a reaction. It's hard to ignore. It's even harder to say, "That's nice, don't forget the milk on the way home."
