Scenes from The Road #4: Imagery of Nils Karlson, Judged by Nils Karlson

[SergeantPepper]

Only 5 days left for this great challenge.

Thanks for appreciating my image taken “from the road”. For the new challenge we have a special treat. Nils Karlson is a fellow member of the Film Shooters’ Collective. As an UNRELATED ASIDE, I encourage you to visit the FSC’s weekly “Journal” page. The work submitted from the world-over is breathtakingly out of the box. 365’s Kali (@kali66) has been selected for Journal feature. You can view the FSC Journals here:

NOW TO THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE.

Nils will judge the imagery and choose the winner, and will share thoughts on our interpretations of his work.

Yes, all of Nils’ wonderful imagery is shot using film, but NO, that is not a requirement for the challenge.

Interpret this version of “on the road” as you wish. A sparse urban scene, an expansive landscape, a beautiful architectural detail, a pet portrait “on the road” or something else. Nils is a guidepost for the concept there are no hard and fast rules in photography.

Nils has a unique style, often using long exposures and pastel colors and motion and minimalism. He has been accepted for juried exhibitions including Revela T in Spain, and is represented by Thurmanovich Gallery, a prominent gallery in Europe. He just completed an artist-in-residence in Iceland.

A dog lover, Nils has been the featured in many published interviews including this one on Lomography:

Most importantly, he is a wonderful and whimsical person.

Have fun with this one, a challenge in the truest sense.

@walrus -- I laughed to myself as I read this challenge because while I was on the back of @domenicododaro 's motorcycle I wished I had a GoPro to take a photo of how it feels to see yourself riding in between cars and on the dotted lane divider line! Now THAT would have been my "on the road" literally taken!
