I’ll have my (first!) scans on Monday. Not nearly enough time to edit it (that is, if I knew how to, hehe).

But still, next week I’ll provide you with a link to my deviantart account. I would love to hear what you have to say about it.

Cheers!

what a nice and worthy surprise I got in discovering your site and this “community”!
First of all, I have to say that I love your kind of “vision”, a lot of great photography!
Then, talking about the “assignment”… well, I haven’t understood if I’m still in time to partecipate and, furthermore, I don’t know whether or not I’m “able” to… I’m not a “pro”, I just love photography… anyway, I’m sure this will be a very interesting thing to follow!

Max

I am home from my project-trip, and am scanning the negatives now that will be offered up for your call for new work. Your project encouraged me to try to shake off some habits and so I decided to shoot in 35mm, and something good has happened..

Because I have only been shooting the square for a while now, my 35mm verticals are different than from before I used the square. As far as I can figure, my eye is now seeing the vertical as a subset of the square.

Though switching formats was difficult and unsuccessful in some regards, for this bit it’s exciting – I think it is such a blessing to have those parameters expanded now and again..so thank you, again.

Good question! Maybe David would want to discuss this as a seperate topic…Has this come up already? I don’t think so…other than in the discussion of “saying Goodbye”

I also feel like the more time I can spend on a project the better. I could use another few years for this assignment! I have been shooting in India every year for the past 12 years and don’t feel I’ve made a dent, especially since what and how I like to shoot continues to evolve and therefore makes all of my previous work undesirable to me! Which is fine as long as I remember it’s the journey not the destination…in other words the growth is good and don’t think of all the old images I’ve outgrown as “wasted time.” Lots more to say about this..interested in David’s response.

I gotta say, I’m thrilled to have gotten that little extra time for this assigment. There really never is enough time is there? Just one more shot. Just one more day. I get an extra week? Great!

How do you know when your are done? How do you know when you’ve “completed” the project/assignment? Do you ever feel it’s finished? Or is it more, “Well, I think I’ve got enough for the editors to choose from, even though I wish I could give them more”?

Just curious. Thanks.

MK

yes, some people are confused by the comment system here…i am going to try to change all of that as soon as i can…when i started this blog i knew nothing about the web or the systems..i know a bit more now….sorry for the confusion..

martin…

it is both very difficult and very rewarding working here in korea…just difficult to capture the “spirit”…yes, i will post some pictures by monday i think…now i am so busy shooting and downloading and i have no extra time…but i do wish you well at your sculpture symposium and i will also remember to give you a good critique of your work…just a little more time please…

cheers, david

No mistake was made. It is confusing, though. It looks like the name above the comment is the name attributed to the comment. It’s not. The name under the comment belongs to the comment. Hope that made sense.

How your work? Seoul is good place for shooting? I think your flash card is full now. I hope you will show us finished work someday. “Youth culture” this must be difficult stuff. I can’t wait for see it.
I’m at sculpture symposium now and all day I work in granite stone in workshop for next two weeks. Two days little break. When I’ll back I’ll have little self assignment. Very difficult too, because I will try to find out a new shape of polish after communism reality. I have idea in my mind but I have not idea how to do it. I will show you but only if I do it, like I wont. Impossible…

Well, good hunting I wish

Martin

ps. You need an hour? I don’t want take your time, but now I just can’t wait. I’m really curious

I submitted a comment under my real name and with a link to my blog, but it appears under a name bobblack + link is redirected to bobblack’s site. Strange. Somebody want’s more hits on his site.

Anyhow I’m Borut Peterlin and not bobblack.

your crit sessions at Perpignan are very valuable and I’ll definetly apply for it. This blog and your workshop is great! I’ve been organizing http://www.fotopub.com festival of documentary photography and been learning a lot from your workshop.

See you in Perpignan!

PS: An answer to the first comment. The film What the bleep do we know confirmed my doubts in “objective reality”. David is right. We don’t observe reality, we make it, by observing it!

I’ll write you this weekend…much depends on what is happening with my wife and son in Russia in september…we’re all coming to visit, for sure, later in the year, but I would like to stop down and bring you wine..preferably when i have a rerun of my projection project at gallery…anyway, i’ll write you off blog next week :))

i’ve enjoyed (yesterday) reading all the comments too :))))

totally get the deal with energy, absolutely :))…have been drifting through that last 2 weeks, with photo-story & writing deadline (i’ll post here when it goes live/published)….and the madness of these projections: but…somehow, someone’s voice (or face) always feeds the energy blues :))

more later David :))

running,
bob
