Equivalent 1925

Alfred Stieglitz made this photograph, Equivalent, with a camera, the same way I make a painting with a brush and paint. Look at those heavy dark clouds set against the paler skies. I feel like Stieglitz is showing me the weight of the world, but also the incredible lightness of being. What was it like to stand there, looking up, framing that rectangle? I imagine him waiting for the right moment, the perfect balance between light and dark. This isn't just a picture of clouds; it's about feeling, mood, and maybe something spiritual, you know? Like Rothko, but with clouds instead of color fields. And, isn't that what art is all about? Expressing something deep inside yourself, finding a way to show others what it feels like to be alive, under the sky, with all its drama and beauty. Making something equivalent to the human experience.
