Artist's Comments

This description is taken from my Fibonacci strikes again journal, posted on Apr. 20, 2008.

Maybe I'd better say =art176 strikes again!

Some days ago i uploaded Jazz - 16, which portrays Mr. Dave Holland enjoying the ovation at the end of the concert in Turin, Jul. 10, 2007.

Yesterday, my good friend =art176 commented it and pointed out that its composition follows a Fibonacci spiral...<div class="centertext">:thumb83381648:</div>He's really got quite an eye for this kind of things (and for art in general): he also noticed the same happened to On Stage - 14 (see Cristina vs. Fibonacci, where I also tried to explain what the Fibonacci spiral is).

Now, the amazing thing, is that Jazz - 16 is a crop of the original photograph I took. A slight crop indeed, since I only cropped out a thin portion of the image from the left and lower sides; however I tried different crop sizes and positions before choosing this one. All the other ones simply did not work: there was always something in the resulting image, that made it look unbalanced. I absolutely didn't think about Fibonacci while I was testing... so I came here totally unaware of this curious correspondence (like I happened to do, on the other hand, with On Stage - 14).

So, it looks like the Fibonacci spiral has really something to do with expressing some kind of universal proportions...

...And, once again, thank you Ahmed!

Really interesting. I just love finding lines and patterns in things I shoot, especially when it is unconcious. Well done! :clap:
