on giving up.. there are sometimes tough times, no?
some tough come-downs.. reality verses the photographed world and paying rent, bills.. living rough.. eating crap.. but seeing some real treats..
carrot and donkey.. thats how it was for me.. for every good shoot, where i thought i was finally getting what i wanted, there was a hardship to overcome.. the continuity of it all ran like this for me, with incredible highs followed by low, low, lows.. with the photographs as the best friends i made along the way.

sound advice from DAH about giving up on the past photos.. you’re into the groove of it right now and to set yourself up on the work you have already shot could be prohibitive.. there is NO FORMULA to cling to.. just keep clicking at everything you are seeing because right now what you are seeing, over time, is a unique and precious thing..

keep on panos.. i’m going to visit LA again one day.. i’ve a mate called barry who runs a scate shop.. loves ‘girls girls girls’ and steak and eggs for breakfast on venice beach.

I would love to see all this hot new work of yours that everybody is raving about, but I haven’t been able to see any of your work for months now. I realize I am living in the Stone Age with outdated software and hardware, but I manage to see almost everyone else’s work. You are using some kind of web program that comes out as an empty black page with a title in white but no images in Safari 1.2 or IE 6. Is there any way you can post images in a simpler and more straightforward way so us old codgers can see them?

Tom Hyde..
Also thank you for your private words..
Peace..
ALL , let’s feed from each others motivation…!

some of the photos from that set had me smiling from ear to ear.. high as when chemically aided in past days..
brilliant – really happy for that last set of photos..
you must have been feeling you were getting good stuff clicked as it happened.. what a buzz..
enjoy.. looking forward to seeing all.

J’espère que vous aurez une fois formidable et très amiable. Il me tarde de vous-tout voir, mais c’est impossible cette fois, je regrete. Il faut que vous faites la bombe!

I have been there just a few hours, in the middle of a two weeks unplanned vacation driving around California. Next time (? quite far from Italy, indeed ;) I’ll call for sure…

i WILL call you when i see david, and when we are having a beer IN YOUR NAME bro (remember c’ville, remember paris)

I’d love to listen to a discussion on the future of this place, a sobering breakfast sounds like an interesting time to do it. Especially after all the wild ideas on the night before!

Anton,

Scouting expedition? Thats my plan too! Love the colours + DOF in Brigit.

Panos,

Up at 6am? Now thats a pedal on the metal! Interesting stuff in those last shots!

Perpignan Crew,

To help recognise fellow bloggers I’ve got a collection of a few mugshots here:

If you want to send me an email with a mugshot, tonight is the last chance before I’m all out of internet.

See y’all soon!

I have uploaded more images to my racecourse project. No special order, just the ones I like more at present. Note that I seem to be twisting to what happens around the racecourse, rather than the racecourse itself.
All comments welcome.

Thanks for your support.

Martin B,
Patricia,
Marcin…. Thank you…
ALL.. Goodmorning… 6 am in LA.. A
Day after Labor Weekend…
Everybody’s still intoxicated..

I just woke up with Patricia’s OBAMA
on my mind… ( nice photo Pat…:-) )
You can DO it America!!!! ;-)

good…I just added new images to a few projects so you will be up to date when you see it. Enjoy the slideshows:)

great great idea… i would so like to be part of the blog discussion, i feel it’s oh so important (and a reason for coming too…) i’ll be arriving saturday around 7pm (ready for the all-nighter of course) and yes sunday the serious meeting would great… but please i don’t want to impose in any way… but i’d be honored of course :))

yes i am making a tough call i know, but i feel (photography-wise) i am too feeble right now to go “full on” and seriously edit and bring my work and try to show… i would much rather regard this as “scouting” for next time… and of course shaking hands with “Mistah Cigartex” himself, telling him to get ready for me, i’m coming next year :))))
