As I was leaving the Historical Society the other day I noticed some lovely light on the clouds. Reminded me a little of Alfred Stieglitz’s series, “Equivalents”.

Equivalents was a series of photographs of clouds taken by Alfred Stieglitz from 1925 to 1934. They are generally recognized as the first photographs intended to free the subject matter from literal interpretation, and, as such, are some of the first completely abstract photographic works of art. Stieglitz called these photographs Equivalents and argued that visual art could assume the same nonrepresentational, emotionally evocative qualities as music. The images experiment with camera and darkroom techniques to create abstract fields of light and dark, and became one of the 20th century’s most vital visual traditions.
