You're giving HCB a serious run for his money here, Pritam. Excellent stuff. And you're giving Adam a run for his money, Marc. A seriously ominous-looking take on Gotham. Thank you for the compliment. It never ceases to amaze how changes in light can make the familiar seem suddenly inspiring. Best, Wayne 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Phil. 13 hours ago, stray cat said: Dunno who wears the pants, but I want to go clothes shopping with this couple! LOL, yes, they have exquisite taste in fashion, indeed 13 hours ago, Wayne said: OK. They put Uncle Gus on the train in Lansing, bound for Minneapolis; he somehow gets on the wrong train in Chicago; winds up in NYC, where he wanders around aimlessly for two days. Finally meets a nice divorcee who, over a cup of coffee, discovers Gus has a fat GM pension; is marching him down to the courthouse for a quick marriage......Gus was ready to get of of Lansing, permanently, anyway. Man! Adam! You are a master of telling a story with your camera. Best, Wayne Hilarious, Wayne. And you re not so far off; as I recall the couple was just adjacent to the huge brass Bull on lower Broadway (right around the corner from the NYSE stock exchange) and also right around the other corner from the court house 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had many concerns, he has shown me a lot, and my photography has benefited significantly. The wonderful examples of different styles, approaches and discussions in this forum keeps the drive alive. You're being very modest, Marc. I have learned a great deal from you and your resourcefulness. The Acra-Swiss "cube" ball head being the latest example - a great suggestion notwithstanding the distressing financial setback it caused!

It's alive!" Or was he characterizing LUF online? Rog, I think Colonel Kurtz might have been characterizing LUF online when he uttered on his dying breath "The Horror. The Horror". Full disclosure: Apocalypse Now is right up there in my top couple of films. Thank you so much for riffing on your encyclopædic knowledge and extraordinary experience when talking photography/art/creativity. It really does expand an already vibrant and fascinating thread into something altogether fascinating. Your story of the fellow you met outside Starbucks is quite moving yet, given the man's obvious sadness, you have forwarded him an advice that is perfectly sympathetic and logical - to shoot his Minolta even without film in it. There is a symmetry there, too, given the tragedy of his wife's passing. It starts me to thinking - realizing, understanding really, that the photographs we are privileged enough to make - together they construct a testimony to the fact "I was there". This photograph - these photographs - could not exist were I not at a specific place at a specific time to make them. It is an obvious point, but a salutary one, for here is the evidence that we existed and that we visited these places, knew these people, thought enough of whatever was in front of our camera at any given moment to raise the camera and make a picture. This epiphany puts me in mind of the words of a photographer you mentioned in relation to Christoph's wonderful picture of unrestrained teenage lust, Edouard Boubat: "Photography is made from everything and of nothing … We can only say thank you, to the lovers, the beaches, the sun, the encounters. These are all fleeting and after them only a photograph remains. And for that, I am thankful". I received a copy of Ralph Gibson's Self Exposure this week but decided I'd pass it over to the family to give me for Christmas. I really think that book will be very special (I'll do the same with Refractions when that arrives). Thank you so much for recommending them. Thank you also for introducing Gerhard Richter's painting Tisch. There is a fascinating mindset involved here, and I have come to appreciate Richter's work very much thanks to your heads up. As an aside, I did find Banksy's recent shredded drawing rather contrived, both for the reason that the drawing on paper was never the artwork - that was on a wall; and I also thought that, despite the action being somewhat original, the act of destroying artwork is kind of clichéed. There are many examples - among them Rauschenberg dumping his collages into the River Arno, John Baldessari's Cremation project, my research tells me that Richter burned many of his paintings on a rubbish heap and I remember reading that Brett Weston burnt all his negatives once he considered enough prints had been made from them. I remember our art teacher at photography college telling us back in the early 1990s about Anselm Kiefer's art - about how in the galleries at night the security guards were known to report that the only sounds they could hear were the plop, plop plop of materials falling from Kiefer's paintings. Think of the metaphor of shooting without film in a futile war. Yes! This is perfect. I'd never considered that in relation to Dennis Hopper's character, but of course it is the perfect metaphor. A phrase I've always liked that comes to mind thanks to this is from "East Coker" by T. S. Eliot: O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark, The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant... I hope you see your friend again, and I hope he has his Minolta with him. Can't possibly think of a more appropriate tandem of Gibson books--Refractions and Self-Exposure--since in the first he shares his perspectives in approaching photography, and in the second, he candidly reveals his working life and the life behind his work. A biblio-diptych, if you will. As Gibson is getting well on in years, Self-Exposure becomes a meaningful opus, an insightful glance in the rearview mirror back at his journey. He talks about Dorothea Lange's advice that the young Gibson needs a "point of departure" in his work: today, the compass of conversation can swing to "points of arrival." Controversy and conflict are always the bedrock of drama, and if anything, Gibson has ushered his fair share onto the stage. Yet, he seems to continue as a work in process. Indulge my purposeful recasting of the cliché, "a work in progress," thinking about Oscar Wilde's quip: "Nothing succeeds like excess." Talking about process, your comment on the signature a photographer makes with a defining vision, not only the "I was there" testimony, but that the photograph is the evidence of the human spirit. I admire the meter and rhythm of your perspective, the sheer clarity: It starts me to thinking - realizing, understanding really, that the photographs we are privileged enough to make - together they construct a testimony to the fact "I was there". This photograph - these photographs - could not exist were I not at a specific place at a specific time to make them. It is an obvious point, but a salutary one, for here is the evidence that we existed and that we visited these places, knew these people, thought enough of whatever was in front of our camera at any given moment to raise the camera and make a picture. Awesome call to conscience--the responsibility of the artist. I went to a screening of The Castle, based on Kafka's novel, starring Maximillian Schell who was present, graciously taking questions from the audience. Young and perhaps a bit brash, I asked him what was his motivation in making the film, since Kafka's characters are seemingly so inaccessible. Schell answered directly, without hesitation: ". . . to keep away from death." He had at once turned the telescope backwards, reversing the perspective. He had underscored his life as an actor was in the moment of acting, not only to produce truthful art, but that in the sheer process of that production, he could hold death at arm's length. That moment has always stayed with me, and now in tandem with your "I was there" epiphany, it comes full circle. Yes on Apocalypse Now, which every photographer should see--mandatory. Vittorio Storaro. Awesome and instructive. So appreciate when you expand the discussion to cinema and soundtrack, music and poetry. So many of the images on this thread are sheer poetry! And, yes, the dissonant chord comes from the back of the room, skulking about, Banksy, the Arrogant Harlequin. Well, there's happenings and the kaleidoscope of street art, all to run the course. There's Kienholz and Beuys. Thanks for your other instances of art calling attention to the act of making or unmaking art. I have to pull Pina Bausch, the choreographer who passed away nine years ago, into the discussion because her innovative work with the Tanztheater is so creative. Pedro Almodovar used her choreography, Café Mueller, for the opening of his film Talk to Her. And Wim Wenders made Pina to capture the verve of her experimentation. Bad boy, bad boy, now I have to round up some T.S. Eliot, thanks to you. Keeps those thoughts coming. Cut and print, Rog 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
