Yes, I’m concurrently painting … some … but in keeping to my peripatetic nature, a bit of a drift today. Actually, in my mind, not “today” really because, over the course of a day, I go from painting to photo to whatever. Probably, most of us meander like that. I guess I admire those who wake to one focus and fall asleep later with the same. But, and alas, though, that’s not me – and, I do like the options, along with the accompanying breadth of challenges and knowledge/experience – though usually accompanied with creative confusion.
Meet a couple of old friends:
I’ve had these guys since, I don’t know, maybe the early/mid 70’s. I had, of course, a headband in those days … and with these guys around my neck, the self-image was W Eugene Smith or Lee Friedlander or Jerry McMillan … or probably more like Dennis Hopper in “Apocalypse Now” … either way, let’s just say the self-image and the reality-image did not share the same perspective … 🙂
Heavy and metal, film, scratches and dents in the pro-black. Heavy, yeah, but solid to the heft. I also like the attitude: max 36 clicks to the roll, you had to plan and think. Such good friends who shared and created great memories on the street … and still do today.
Time standing-down a bit, I hope to get the darkroom cleared and spend some time in the room where dim light is yellow, and where strange and wonderful things happen.
