I. Chiropractic – recommended after a
fall, or a birth
Falling down. She lies prone. Her wind-toy dropped, the body flat.
Out of hand, the toy lies on swirling grass, a vertiginous mass
of sprawling ground. Around her still body, the movement frames
her, and we feel like she is lying on spinning soil. The drama of
the fall is there, and the effect on the body thus implied. This
is the darkest image – it speaks of caution. It also speaks
most clearly of cause and effect. This image is uniquely dramatic,
and appeals to those with a traumatic perception of the cause of
subluxation. How do these subluxations begin? Here is one answer,
most succinct.
Artist’s note:
They say that photojournalism is as much about taking opportunities
as it is about taking photos. In this case, a fallen child presented
on the lawn. I had not planned to capture an image like this, but
many people still do not understand the subluxation. I believe this
will help them understand one mechanism of aetiology. The zoom lens
wound down to 80mm and shot from close range distorted the vertical
lines, and created the swirling texture of the grass. This was pleasing,
as it underscored the subject and the message. Many amateur photographers
are taught to zoom in and cut out the extraneous matter. This has
obvious merit (especially in photojournalism), but here is an example
of the optical benefits of getting closer to the subject, and zooming
out. You can keep the distractions down, but you may also take advantage
of some interesting distortions. PC
