Was it all just a dream? A Midsummer Nights Dream

C-41, E-6, Silver Gelatin? a mid career dream 1995, Centennial Theater Festival Simsbury Ct. A motion and emotion Photographic Artist. The Willi years perhaps my most creative period, but that is hard to be sure of there are more dreams to come more periods. Pixels and interaction with I-Phonians. Put the camera on auto and become a tripod in the creative process! Artificial intelligence isn’t the same as as emotional cognitive thought. There is no artificial emotion just modes spray and pray. I too now shoot digital one frame at a time, no cropping little post process just my mind and the transformation of light into emotion. No I won’t be posting everything to the social network as soon as I shoot. Instant gratification-instantly lost. The art is in the print not the monitor. Haven’t been posting for a while so I thought I would start with a little of my philosophical rant. Major changes as my heath isn’t good and I am packing up 40+ years of images each created individually by me each has a story, each has a memory few will be deleted as I move 3000 miles west.

Summer wanes as I organise for a new Life.

I used to be very organized, set in a schedule/routine despite working freelance. Now after comas and bad health I have trouble planning ahead to move to Wa. there is so much to do. So many people to say good bye to and as those who have met me know I am a bit verbose. Good bye isn’t an email or a text it is lunch and shared memories of past and future life’s. Happy, Sad and all the while learning a new digital camera, a new diet and my mind version two.
