https://vimeo.com/248249215 - Winter's Watch is a 14-minute documentary film that shows the way photographer/artist Alexandra de Steiguer spends the wintertime - as an off-season caretaker of a hotel on an island off the Maine coast. It's a lesson in solitude and contemplation - captured in amazing images by the director Brian Bolster, but also by the photographs Steiguer has taken. ------------- "Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop.

It is a great pleasure to see a mentally mature person and a beautiful photographer. Brian Bolster has captured the essence of her story beautifully as well. Thank you for sharing the link Howard! |

Thanks for sharing this link Howard, very worthwhile watching. I found the story and background of Alexandra very interesting, her photo's are of a classic beauty and the filming has a photographic quality as well. Items in the frame move but the frames are static giving a very quiet and attractive atmosphere while watching it. No zooming or panning, it really fits the story well. ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2022 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/topic141325_post1694580.html#1694580 - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

It was calming and thought-provoking to see somebody being alone for such a period and producing nice photos along the way It was all well filmed with the long shots. Thanks for the link -------------  Be yourself; everyone else is already taken
