2001 Eyes and smiles Pirouette through the highlights and shadows.

Many years, many Muses some pass through my life briefly a spark a highlight and gone some linger for years and the language of creation expands we speak with a new voice. Shadows, highlights, motion, emotion explored discovered shared. A flower, a stream an old house the muse is youth the muse is me.   peace pjc

So a half an hour ago I started, this post I wrote a paragraph on repetition in the darkroom a must for control of technique. Notes on printing so I can walk into lab years later and quickly match a print. But repetition, technique in the Piss me off Pixel Age is difficult as Upgrades, Changes, Distractions and the constant need to babysit this inhuman box. Too much brain power diverted from creativity to keeping up with marketing the homogenization of thought. Be an individual just do it with the latest  AI. [FU AI.] like everyone else. WP deleted my words and added 6 images I uploaded to the Lib. appeared in post. I must have missed the latest new and improved version.
