Great light and color; I like 7 & 11 best. Is Seattle naturally that angle and why are you posting at the end of an abandoned thread? Inquiring minds want to know!

Not sure if I will ever catch up with everything posted in one week. Bit by bit, most likely… uncompletely… not quite…?

:-)

David, in time-honored “DAH blog” fashion…: I have sent you a mail.

I did not pick up which day you arrive in Paris, but looking forward to meet soon, and how!!!

saludos!

It was really great to meet you the other weekend. I am quite excited to see myself on your site. Your photographs are awe inspiring, but I am equally inspired by your words. I am not a photographer, but your advice and encouragement in this post is still relevant. Thanks!!! ;)Hope to run into you again.

Best,
Kate

(cheers Lisa)

Matt Newtown’s footy doco is just fabulous!

And so is James Chance’s blog!

Wow what talented guys!

(And ladies I can vouch for it, they are both cute as!)

James

Thanks for posting the video of the presentation. I wish I could have attended, so it was really nice to feel a little more a part of it by seeing the presentation. Just like being there!—even straining for a view past old curly top! (only teasing ;)) Thank you.

PANOS:

You post so much here I am often unable to keep up. The video was was the first time I have been able to see your work in a condensed form. Do you have a link to a tight edit of your stuff? Or even to the edit that was shown at the presentation? Cheers.

DAVID:

Just wanted to check in and see where we stand with the “assignments” project. I seem to remember it should be in around this time?… Obviously didn’t want to bug you during Look3, and have been pretty slammed myself, so have waited until now to put new gallery up. (Will add link to the link page too).

It includes all the images people have shown interest in after the last edit—around 26 I think. (Thanks again for your opinions folks!). Due to the general busyness all round I am sorry we haven’t been able to communicate in more detail regarding specific image choices and the tone and pace of the work in general. I hope there will be the opportunity to do so before this is finalised?…

I have grouped the images in to similar types to try and make the process a little easier. I may have been pushing it hoping to cut this down to 13 images max, so am happy to expand a little if necessary.

ALL:

New post on my blog if anyone is interested… Just a small piece of work shot during a couple of days on the “holiday” part of this trip… No biggie, was not planned and invested little time and effort—we were trying to take a break!! But the plight of this little island moved us, so we spent a couple of afternoons putting this together.

We had some technical issues with the blog at first (hence this little story being posted late). But we are up and running at last. We hope to be posting more regularly now with current work, so please drop by occasionally if you have the time.

One question: I have split the blog into sections “main” Blog, Photos, and Video (coming soon). Do people think this works? I wanted to have a separate area for images, so viewers can just check out photos if this is their preference. You will see that the “main” blog is the standard type thing with images and pictures.

Same applies to the video section (when it gets there) It will be a space purely dedicated to short video clips. All this means a bit of clicking around to see/read different stuff. Is this too much!?

Jessica N, Tim & Bill M– Thanks for your wonderful generosity and welcoming spirits at dinner.

Peace-

for Papa Akaky:

“…The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh. Let us not then speak ill of our generation, it is not any unhappier than its predecessors. Let us not speak well of it either. Let us not speak of it at all. It is true the population has increased…..

…Astride of a grave and a difficult birth. Down in the hole, lingeringly, the gravedigger puts on the forceps……

…I don’t seem to be able… (long hesitation) to depart….

…Such is life.”–s.m, wfg

for Sister Erica:

It would be good to give much thought, before
you try to find words for something so lost,
for those long childhood afternoons you knew
that vanished so completely -and why?

We’re still reminded-: sometimes by a rain,
but we can no longer say what it means;
life was never again so filled with meeting,
with reunion and with passing on

as back then, when nothing happened to us
except what happens to things and creatures:
we lived their world as something human,
and became filled to the brim with figures.

And became as lonely as a sheperd
and as overburdened by vast distances,
and summoned and stirred as from far away,
and slowly, like a long new thread,
introduced into that picture-sequence
where now having to go on bewilders us.

CHILDHOOD, r.m. Rilke…

lastly:

Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be.–Kurt Vonnegut

so it goes ;))))

see Bob, there is the silver lining..you can’t suffer the withdrawal from something you never knew. sigh..

LOOK3 was lifting. where to begin? there are so many elements of this event that are great: meld with old friends, shake and nod to new ones, celebrate those that couldn’t make it (bob, tommy, and more), flow through a vast sea of fine photography, be challenged, learn, express, share, drink, toke, swim naked, watch the sun come up, hugs good-bye, until next time, take care and godspeed… breathe.. LOOK3.

there are way too many names from this blog to give shouts to as i’ll surely forget someone and feel bad about it.. i’m so so glad to have shared some time with all of you.. it’s such an upstanding crowd that it’s a little scary. and the beauty is, we’re all here still.. right here!

best,
lance
