this is my box of 'photo stuff'. it lives in the closet.
in
this box can be found notes/references/resources, some Kodak
Polycontrast III RC black & white paper, a box of Arista classic
VC fiber paper, the remnants of a past group show, the portfolio I put
together sometime in the '90's, a study from a solo show, three binders
full of negatives and prints, developing tank, lupe, a couple of boxes
of Arista 400 medium format film, a few of said negatives, and a
half-finished photo-book.
in looking at my next project, it feels quite like my last project - Nexus of Ecstasy
- where I finally condensed my earlier scribblings and sketches into
one book (the loose
ends of which are still waiting to be
ritually burned). the project that is growing from Nexus requires me to
create images, and in order to do that I need to re-engage with my
photography, so...I thought I'd open the box (insert Pandora reference
here). since I got such lovely and positive feedback on that old 'snow tires' photo of mine on here, I thought I'd share the journey in...
as
Julie Andrews sings, "Let's start at the very beginning...a very good
place..to start," in my head, the first question I asked myself was
whether or not I thought I needed to use watermarks, and decided that I
did not. excellent. problem handled, moving on. now I need to figure
out how to give people the option to purchase an image and/or book of
mine, if they like. of course, people should always feel free to just
mail me money, too, that always works.
so
I think I'm just going to post the photos as they happened, and see
what kind of feedback I get while I work out how best to market them.
suggestions, support, and love are always welcome. cheers!
I can just imagine you on a mountain top singing that. Yes please post away
