Some of you were on hand September 1 in Perpignan for the launch of Burn 02. By all accounts, the buzz on Burn and Burn 02 was palpable. In all my years in the business, I never saw quite this sort of “big warm”. Was it the slide show? Was it the new in print magazine? Perhaps those things helped. But it was way more than a function of display. It was about YOU. This audience. This audience who supported new and original work by Paolo Pellegrin and Alisa Resnik and Bruce Gilden and others to be seen now first in Burn 02.
Burn 02 is not a repeat of Burn online. Burn 02 is its own original work. A 1500 copy limited editon. Online is terrific, but when you hold 02 in your hand, you will know what photography is all about from our perspective. I am not published in it. I wish I was. The place to be published for sure.
Yes, 02 was a collaboration. But there is always one person who is THE driving force. Diego Orlando, our special projects editor, is that person for 02. Anton and I were in the background on this baby. Designed and printed and bound with loving care in Italy by the very best, you will quickly see why there is pride all around.
I am proud of this magazine/book…I can say this in a way I could never say with my own work. That requires silence. But I can say that this feels like my best effort so far as the director/coach and not in it as a direct “player”…Yet I made something happen..Put the talents of others to work..Gave them all the rope they could handle. Kept an eye out..Mostly to set a standard….And to push everyone just a bit further than they wanted to be pushed..I knew they would thank me later …laughing…I will say no more now. On the front flap I wrote:
We are the photo equivalent of the garage band. Can this last/should this last? No. There is a curve on any creative endeavor. We are not at the peak yet. When we get there, then we will do something else and start the whole process over again. Could be an evolution, or could be a revolution. So let’s enjoy this moment. Now is the time to appreciate what we have, seek out new ways of doing things, celebrate our mutual language and push it just as far as we can possibly go.
-dah-
LOVE don hammerman’s baseballs!…i saw them a bit back in an email from Jen Beckman projects….like suns and stars :)))
Actually Don Hamerman had a great idea!..to do a virtual show here in burn too , from the photos that will be included in exhibition so Burnians also allowed to buy from their laptops, instead of flying to Texas!
thats a smart idea (thats why it didnt occur to me;)
thanks again Don!!!!!
Panos; One thing about the ad; at least you know where he stands (even if you/I don’t agree with him)! I hate the type of politician who is all smarmy and greasy before an election (I suppose that’s most of them!); says the “right” thing to get elected, and then brings in a whole lot of new policies once elected…. The type of policies that they know no one will like, so they keep quiet about them… We’ve certainly had our share of them here in NZ :-(
Bob yes yes and yes!
wait …wait..POSTMAN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
WHO CAN IT BE NOW??????????????
Gonna need a bigger venue dude.

YES YES, FROM THE LAND OF DOWN UNDER, BEAUTIFUL AUSTRALIA…MR.MATTHEW NEWTON
ENORMOUS, GYNORMOUS , unbelievable paper, Print..the whole nine yards as we say here..
im very very impressed by this print..geez!
John G!
damn …u r absolutely correct !
many prints are small but some (like yours) are GYNORMOUS/HUGE AND BEAUTIFUL!…
I NEED A STADIUM , NOT A GALLERY!
Never ever ever expected that…not in my wildest dreams!
Akaky you are a psychic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Panos; What? You’ve gone from garage to stadium arenas already! ;-)
http://instagr.am/p/N1m5E/
ok , a little TEASER from the beautiful print from MATTHEW NEWTON
Thank you again, ALL OF YOU! What an honor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MW…
I’ve gone the bridge contact sheet way too many times especially considering once I start calculating each sheet of A4 Hahnemuele paper comes out at about 3,50 Euros, without counting printer ink. Laughing!! I wish there was someone on this island who would charged an 8×10 for a dollar…sadly it’s much closer to 20 Euros!!
BTW I love your Burn print!!
Hmmm; looks like someone has been muttonbirding in Matty’s pic….
Ross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn ..yes u r right.. f@ck..somethin is wrong here… from Garage band with 3 people in the audience (all too drunk to leave;) to Rolling Stones/ Bruce Springsteen territory..hmmmm is this a good or a bad thing????
and John yes we need bigger venue..we are like big fish on a small pond ..hmmmm…problems , problems but good problems!
“Moonbird Boy”!
Ross u are a genius!
Justin…
Don’t think there will be many more happy accidents like last night… my doctor wasn’t very amused. The trip lasted well over 8 hours and we’re talking about a Trigger point injection in the sole of my foot and in less three minutes I was flying very high.
Big cock-up by the nurse…
I’ll forgive her :))))
Panos; Genius? Nah; we hunt muttonbirds here in NZ too; and Tassie is about the same latitude as NZ
Ross, ask me if i know what a ” muttonbird” is!….ive no idea! what a surprise huh;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muttonbird
http://curiouskai.blogspot.com/2007/06/mutton-birds-titi.html
Panos; they are the young of the sooty shearwater; we used to sell them in the supermarket. The Maori love them and some havea set number of permits each year to harvest them from ancestral islands. I thought they tasted a bit like a chicken that had been soaked in diesel…. Muttonbirds come salted (about 20 birds) in a 10-litre bucket. One girl I worked with always asked me to keep the salty leftover brined blood (from the bottom of the barrel) for her to cook her cabbage in….
The Image is all.
The Single image.
Icons
questions
poems
enigmas.
Keep your clever stories
and Your inclusive world view.
leave them at the dentists where they belong.
On the table with all the other forgotten lives.
And make me instead a picture that I cannot answer.
that I can only look to and ask, but never know.
that has no beginning or end.
And just, is.
John.

http://instagr.am/p/N1-C8/
cool stuff is happening!!
SPEAKING OF JUST LAUNCHED:
My third grandson was just born. Coverage on my blog*, right here:
http://wasillaalaskaby300.squarespace.com/journal/2011/9/22/jobes-final-moments-as-the-baby-of-the-family-a-lynx-gives-a.html
Also, early Friday morning I leave for New York. To the extent that it proves practical, I will be blogging The Loft experience on my blog.
Panos – when my second grandson was born, the process took about three hours. So, this time, when I left for Anchorage two hours after my daughter-in-law went into labor, I thought I might find a newborn baby when I got there. As it happened, she spent 26 hours in labor this time and altogether, the stretched out event and its aftermath, including my blog, have eaten up three days of my time.
So I have no more time left to make a print to send you.
I am disappointed, but pleased that my grandson appeared in time for me to be there for his birth.
*I know some here are sticklers on tight editing. With 32 images, this is not tightly edited. This will not bother my regular readers, but it might bother some sticklers. I don’t mean you, DAH. You are about to have a week to teach me how to tighten up.
In this case, though, I don’t think that I would have tightened up no matter what.
PANOS – Mate, I’m glad the little fella has made it across the water to you !
My third grandson was just born.

Bill, sorry i missed that..NO worries bro at all..this not gonna be the LAST BURN Exhibition..im saving everything for Sidney Australia..u know the Burn World Tour just started!
back in the day when i was in Reading Festival 1994 to shoot the FooFighters (after Kurt’s tragic departure),i remember i saw a kid wearing “I survived a Nirvana concert”… my dream is to print a t-shirt called :
“i survived a BURN backstage party!”
Eva.. my European friends do not give up.. NPR (radio news) announced yesterday that Italy’s banking system is under “watch” that means that a credit downgrade is unavoidable…but maybe in the long run, CHANGE IS COMING…maybe , ONLY maybe…good things will come globally if we survive this global financial pandemic..
but im happy to see that people started WAKING UP and realize that a poor tiny little democracy called greece (with barely 9mil people, half the size of Los Angeles )is NOT RESPONSIBLE for the whole domino effect..its the Wall Street sharks alone with 1% super rich (remember : the RICH have no country,no values, money has no heart! there is a tiny possibility to survive , although it seems that collectively the public consciousness is not close to that level of intelligence..back to Nietzsche: “the crowds are stupid, the individual is not, u can fool 10000 people but u can’t fool an individual..”
ask any dictator, or any PR person, or car salesmen, football leaders, religion leaders and “leaders” of any kind…
“dont follow leaders, watch the parking meters”
