Dirty Again
Saturday, January 5th, 2008
The Dirty Show http://www.dirtydetroit.com/news.htm in Detroit presents me with a dilemma. I entered last year with some hesitation. One of my photos was selected for display. I went to the opening to see what it was like and to see what the other work on display looked like. Well, the attendance at the opening was […]
New Years in Vermont
Monday, December 31st, 2007
As has become the custom for our family in recent years, I’m spending the New Years holiday in Vermont at my mother-in-law’s home near Middlebury. That means very limited dial-up internet access, so I’m not doing much on line. But I do need to make note of some of the things that have been happening […]
Eloquent Nude
Friday, December 28th, 2007
No photo with this post. My wife gave me the DVD “Eloquent Nude – The Love and Legacy of Edward Weston & Charis Wilson” for Christmas. We watched it last night. Documentaries about famous photographers seem to have a tendency to be dry and boring. This is definitely NOT one of those. This film is […]
Back Home
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007
I’m back from New York. I spent all day yesterday driving. It was snowing part of the way in the Pennsylvania mountains which resulted in a few white knuckle moments, but no serious problems. And I was back to Ohio just in time to use my new snow blower to clear the 4 inches of […]
New Dance Stuff
Monday, December 3rd, 2007
I’ve spent the past two days in a dance photography workshop with Lois Greenfield at her NYC studio. It’s been a great experience. Lois is every bit as wonderful a person as I could have hoped for. The workshop was a lot of fun. I met some other dance photographers from around the country and […]
More from the past
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007
Here’s another of my old dance concert photos. This one has been hanging in my living room for pretty much the last 25 years. The dancer is Marcia Sakamoto, a visiting artist at the concert that was advertised by the flyer from my last post. Again, this was shot on film, Tri-X exposed at 1600 […]
Another from the old days
Friday, November 23rd, 2007
Back to the archives today. I hope everyone in the US had a good Thanksgiving yesterday. Ours was very pleasant. Today we’ll have some old friends visiting and tomorrow the daughters will show up and we’ll do another feast. This is a pretty bad copy of a poster and program I photographed back at OU […]
Lost Process
Saturday, November 17th, 2007
Those of you younger than about 40 may not know that copy machines used to be only black and white. Along there in the 70s color copiers started showing up. They were awful. But it was color. And someone figured out that you could set up a slide projector and a mirror and project slides […]
Life of Dance
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007
Dance has most of my attention these days, in case you hadn’t noticed. Contrary to some comments I’ve heard, I have not quit doing figure photography and have no plans to. But dance is now the main thing I’m interested in photographing. Figure work will continue, but no longer as my primary subject matter. And […]
Studio Dance
Saturday, November 10th, 2007
I’ve finally finished the editing of the dance concert I photographed at Ohio U a couple weeks ago. I ended up with about 2100 photos. They needed noise reduction and individual tweaking of exposure on each shot. It took Noise Ninja about 36 hours to run all those files. Then I used ACDSee to batch […]
