Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
D’Cuir “I’ll never look into your eyes again ” is such a cinematic shot, the landscape of heartbreak. And the field is fallow, though it could be the senescence that feeds the soil for future growth. She stands there in the midst of what is fallow, but I can’t help but notice that she is looking forward to a field filled with wheat for a future harvest.
The lighting in this next shot...
Wow, D’Cuir had excelled with the lighting in “darkest corner nights before…” Again, the photo has this cinematic feeling, It’s telling a story, but a story with a strong sense of place. You know where you are in this picture.
D’Cuir’s “From the North Country” is another emotionally powerful picture with a strong sense of place. Inspired by the Bob Dylan song whose chorus borrowed from the old ballad “Scarborough Fair.” The lyrics, though speak more of his home state’s North Country, “Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm/When the rivers freeze and summer ends/Please see if she’s wearing a coat so warm/To keep her from the howlin’ winds”
D’Cuir’s photostream is much richer than the prairie-centric pictures I selected. I suppose the open fields of the prairie are appealing on this day that the forests, towns, and cities of Oregon are burning. The town I lived in when I first moved here has burned to the ground. Medford, a town of 82,000 people has been evacuated as the fires have burned its outlying towns and is now beginning to burn the city. Open skies appeal today.
