Decided to break out the 4x5 again. This is a very old radio that was part of the set a couple of productions ago. It doesn't work, and probably needs a tube or two to do so, but we can't bring ourselves to get rid of it.

requiem

2007-04-21T10:19:00.000-04:00

last monday i had to have my pet put down. he was old, very very sick, and knew that it was his time. that cat taught me more about love, courage, and the PROPER use of determination than most people ever have, and for that matter quite possibly ever will. he stayed with me on the bed saturday night; the whole time he was purring and dying. as my dad said, i too hope that i'm purring when i die.

in the last year i've been divorced, mugged, and have moved a couple of times. in many ways this was harder than all of them, for the simple fact that i made the decision to end the life of one of my best friends. it was his time, no doubt; it was merciful; the ends justified the means; all living things die...so on and so on. i loved that cat with all of my heart, and still he loved me more.

i thought about getting another one, but have decided not to. my girlfriend is terribly allergic, there's a good chance that i will be relocating again in the next year or so, and i can barely afford my own healthcare, let alone that of another critter.
they say that when one door closes another door opens...or something like that. i also think that sometimes you have to stand in the hallway for a while.
for you, Ferdinand.

a milling machine at my job. i really wish i had a better exposure here; it was 400 in the holga and i did what i could, which is basically "focus" and click. i still think it looks a bit daunting though, which is what i was going for.

tri-x 400 in d-76 (full) for 10.

my apartment building as seen from the street.

portra400 (color) in the holga and cross-processed in d-76.
(full strength for about 10 mins if it interests ya)

when you break the "rules" there can be no mistakes.

this one needed minimal editing, and is more or less "as is". i scanned it as a positive, hit levels, then used image->adjust->invert along with a touch of curves, desat, and sharpen. i find photoshop useful but far from intuitive; it's taken a few weeks to realign myself with editing, and am starting to feel like i'm getting there.

hello all...at least all who see this. been really really busy of late; FINALLY have my own place and BEST OF ALL have a computer again. i have to confess that i've also been venturing onto "MySpace" here and there...it's hard to find time enough to be all of the places that i want to be. (and, for that matter, need to be.)
i went this weekend past to my ex-wifes place to gather up my belongings, and found this 4x5 hanging in my old darkroom, developed but never viewed. it was the last picture i took before i went away to rehab, and with the stubbornness of the screw and how it tears into the grain of wood/life, i more or less see it as a self-portrait of me at the time.
it's so good to be back, and i don't mean only photography"back" but "back" back as well.
