From the Flat Files: Changing Seasons, Timeless Images

photo-eye Gallery From the Flat Files: Changing Seasons, Timeless Images Delaney Hoffman
photo-eye Gallery presents a selection of work from our flat files that addresses the passage of time and seasonal change.

Vanessa Marsh, Untitled #41, 2018, Lumen print, 20" x 16," Unique, $2100

Ah, yes! Here we are again, at the brink of the seasonal transition between a blistering summer and a blustery fall, one that seems to grow longer and longer with each passing year. Despite this extended timeline, summer road trips are still giving way to cool fall nights while "back-to-school" commercials ring out over every FM radio station. This is a bittersweet time for some, but here in New Mexico, cool weather sounds like a welcome relief.

This week at photo-eye we’ve curated a selection of prints from our flat files that speak to the passing of time and how we observe it; through the appearance and disappearance of wildlife, through the human process of aging, and, of course, through beautiful Southwestern sunrises and sunsets.

We began with a layered lumen print from our Photographer's Showcase artist, Vanessa Marsh, and we continue below with Keith Carter’s Fishbowl. Enjoy!

It is with this final Steve Fitch photograph that we begin to say goodbye to summer. Fitch and the other artists represented in this list are utilizing symbols and markers of time to remind us that temporal change is not only inevitable, but also often beautiful. Let that reminder take us through September, with our swamp coolers and AC units set to "high."
