what do you see like: 2012

Oh man... that is breathtaking! And I do say that too because I was there just some months ago. But really, a spectacular capture. It reminds me of Phillip Lachenmann's Grey Study series, a series of photographs I adore:

love the third one down

girls, table, glasses

both of those parties were terrible, btw.

Just like the texture of the paper here, and the oblique late-afternoon sun...

i especially like it because those two ended up kind of getting together that nite (nye)

oh they're both great
patterned tights, yellow shoes & decorated wallpapers all seeming like gifts from the photographees

btw two more recent plant & leaf pics that i forgot i'd taken, following my small ILP retrospective of floral shots in January 2012.

decided it was time to go through the archives again

Damn homey

Damn homey

^^ dayo your phots are crushing, the first one is like sadder than bicycle thieves

& plax those photos are amazing, you are like a prism:

ilp on fire

agreed, plax making me really want to shoot color!

Everything's looking fantastic here... agreed wrt plax: the clothesline picture is great too.
and I really dig this one from dayo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/idiotcervantes/6705088945/

These are pretty much my recent two pictures:

I'm sort of becoming increasingly unsure of why in the world I'm spending so much time putting pictures online though. Anyone else?
Thinking I should maybe just take pictures, get them scanned, and like work on them out of view. Or just do *something else* with them.

yeah I mean that's why I'm getting into (or trying to get into) darkroom printing - remember reading something by frank where he said "always print your pictures. they should live" which ping pongs around in my head

yeah gotta at least get myself a printer

agreed wrt plax: the clothesline picture is great too.

yes. & another: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5292/5493313659_33d4e9a8ba_b.jpg. i think this reminds me of like eggleston's dolls heads on a car bonnet, in terms of seeming like some weird dispatch from nowhere i have ever been.

i might chronicle this in some kind of private how-do-i-shot-book thread as it progresses but me & a friend are maybe going to put some of ours together, in a book, of some description. i was reading, i think about emmet gowin but maybe not?, & it mentioned that his first thing was a book he made six copies of. & photos having 'object value', & existing in a quantifiable form, feels sorta attractive right now, even as i work through the questions of 'what is the additional value of objects' (in comparison to them existing on the internet, should people end up looking at them) & 'does anyone need a book', etc.

good phots, also, cv. someone who is busy walking & smoking & reading is probably a sensible & oblivious target if you are gonna shoot on the street. there is a lot going on there.

one day I will stop taking photos of lonely people

Some sheep took an interest in the setting up of a tripod.

dayo have you ever heard of patrick mimran? i hadnt till my little brother gave me a book of his photographs for my birthday:

http://mimran.com/

no I haven't! he has a lot of obsessions

this is the first time ive looked @ his site, its kind of a letdown compared to this book i have

maybe one day I'll get a chance to look at his book! btw looked at all three aloha fridays, great stuff!

thank you, dayo. i am pleased to hear you finally looked at them.

I never ordered mine :(

sb'd u for that.

lol. I have like 10 photography books still in the wrapper ;(

I find that like, 10-20 pictures in 'serious' mode are the most I can do at a time without needing a break.

are they still available? xp

i've been basically defying zine convention and just endlessly reprinting them so its ok

sb'd you for decreasing the collector's value of my copies

oh man my attending just took me on a tour of an awesome spot to shoot on the way home from a home visit. totally know what i'm doing with my saturday morning

you guys are all super nice.

while printing photographs is like, yeah i wish i could afford to do it more often, still its nice to think of it the other way, like what do you get from showing it on the screen. i remember seeing some agnes martin paintings in a slideshow at a talk by an art historian and realising that they made more sense seen that way than in a book because there you can't see that inner luminescence but the slide was able to approximate something of it. i realise this is a different example, but still, photographs are all about light, except when they're y'know, about shadows. but like cigarette smoke curling through morning light, or the pattern from a venetian blind spreading out across the floor. melanie schiff is a photographer i like, i'm pretty sure i've mentioned her on this before. she does these still lifes that are all about light in this way. i like the way they burn on the screen.

I like mooching around churches, especially when I have a legitimate non-spiritual reason for being there... Anyway, more objects in low light innit*...

(* - just can't bring myself to post photos of friends in here... )

Such ego! It had to be principal, huh?
Out of curiosity, have you been touching film much at all lately?

That's daughter #2's hand!

Film? Not much lately. Ran a roll of Velvia through the EOS 10 Jun-Aug last year, last used the IX7 APS in September, haven't shot any medium format since last spring and no B&W (Neopan 400CN) since last summer. They're just sitting there, gathering dust at the moment. Keep telling myself that once it's light in the evenings again I'll get out in the garden with the Bronica...
