Transparencies

Slides as they are called in the consumer world of photography. Dead as they have been sentenced by the prosumer imaging world.

Resolution, sharpness, information, quality transparencies have it all so why is Kodachrome being discontinued? Because it is guilty of lasting, guilty of quality, guilty of non convenience and mostly guilty of inspiring thought as the photographer  exposes this film. No machine gun shoot 100 images and spend 3 hours in post production to find the idea you didn’t have. The creation is made by the artist, not the program. It is great not goodnuff, and goodnuff rules. This image made on Provia a very good Fuji Transparency film. I’m saving the final 20 rolls of Kodachrome for a final project to be shot over the next few months before the only lab to process Kodachrome closes. Want to be a subject for the final series?

It isn’t a coincidence that I start this new site with an old image

made with Tri-X from June of 1973 a young Photographic Artist celebrating youth, before

“Fear became our Daily Bread.”

This image is film still my medium of choice. The blog will often be digital to satisfy the need for almost instant gratification. The images will never be goodnuff, they will be statements made with light of the highest quality I can create. No matter the medium I won’t just throw up 100’s of images that are cute.

This new site and blog has an opportunity for comments on the almost daily posts and the images in the galleries. A chance to have a dialog with me and others. The only app. is a donation button or the chance to buy a print, a book or commission a session and become art. A one on one way of supporting the arts, this artist.
