Tim Carpenter - Christmas Day, Bucks Pond Road
Tim Carpenter was born 1968 based in Brooklyn, Christmas Day, Bucks Pond Road is his second book with The Ice Plant with a sequence of 56 black-and-white medium-format photographs made on a single winter morning, where he follows a straightforward path taking the viewer on a two-hour walk from point a to point b through fallow fields, standing water, dormant trees, the occasional tire track on worn pavement. Carpenter explores the stillness of this outdoor space with a palpable, almost erotic anticipation, revealing intimate subtleties as the journey unfolds with an intensity of attention and a lightness of touch. The photographs in his book are less about the confines of this specific time and place, but about a poetic strategy for narrowing the distance between human desire and the factual content of the everyday world.
