Some are a unique take on the desert, revealing abandoned dreams and empty highways. Others feature the wings of airplanes and lustrous cloud formations; rain on a windshield; or they reveal abstract visions of urban light and land. He\u2019s shaped stunning infrared photographs, and raw, so-dusty-you-can-smell-it photojournalism images of broken houses and jagged rock. Most recently, Refetoff has shown seemingly magical pinhole camera images that include ephemeral captures of people, mysterious places, and evocative but unrecognizable locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"780\" src=\"http:\/\/diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/L1zorXbg-1024x780.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/L1zorXbg-1024x780.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/L1zorXbg-300x229.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/L1zorXbg-768x585.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/L1zorXbg-648x494.jpeg 648w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/L1zorXbg-252x192.jpeg 252w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/L1zorXbg.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kinematic Exposures<\/em>, now at the Von Lintel Gallery at the Bendix building, available for viewing both online and in-person by appointment through October 31<sup>st<\/sup>, captures a sublime dreamscape of handheld, pinhole-camera exposures, primarily featuring images from a recent trip he made to Antarctica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HuQqSnww-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HuQqSnww-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HuQqSnww-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HuQqSnww-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HuQqSnww-648x432.jpeg 648w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HuQqSnww-288x192.jpeg 288w, https:\/\/www.diversionsla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HuQqSnww.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The desolate nature and graceful, swooping beauty of the icy landscape spins the viewer into a somewhat otherworldly dimension.
