    About Bruce Gilden, ‘really love that video on youtube, especially that moment when a passer-by tells him: “not here!” and Bruce shows his pedigree…

    Benjamin

    I just have a look at your website and I’ve read that you are from Faroe Island. I don’t know too much about this place maybe only they exist (I apolpgize) but when I saw images I just fall in love. I want to go there!
    Please tell me some about your country. When I should go there and where?
    I will read about it, but just some quick suggestion.
    This is expensive country for turist? I can’t find too much hotels in your country, only those expenive.

    Thanks for info and greetings from Polnad.

    Thanks for the nice comments. Some of the work is a bit dated, I have been working on redoing the site this last week. This is the rough beta version.

    Marcin, the Faroes is incredibly expensive for tourists. The hotels are outrageous, as is the transportation. But you can get a ferry from Scotland, Norway or Denmark that is much cheaper. And let me know if you want to go and I will get in touch with some photographers there who might be able to find a place for you to stay, which is the way to go.

    It is about the most beautiful place you can ever go though. And the government loves trying to get press, so just call them proposing a story and they will hook you up.

    I am half Faroese and was just living there for the last year, and it was a great place to work. I am in the New York area for a couple of days though and would love to come by for the fiesta.

    Thanks for info. I am not photojournalist but for sure I will find many ideas for good stories in Faroe islands and even get some assignemnt.
    I have to go somewhere alone. It will happen during next year. I was thinking about Siberia, but it is so F..king far away, what I will do anlone in syberia?? and Now! everything I need I found in Faroe Islands.
    Yes, I think this is the place for me and my photography. And shooting fishers I have dreamed about so long….
    ehhhh….

    I have a purpose now.
    I feel destination.
    The strong wind will blow and give me a new energy I have lost somewhere.

    When is the best time to go Faroe islands?

    Enjoy the party and please load some pics after it.

    Michael,

    unfortunately I puplished nothing in press, so I am not photojournalist. I had some publications in cataloguses and some other piece of papers but nothing in press.There was the time when I almost not started working for press, but i changed my mind.

    unfortunately…

  • marcin luczkowski
    September 17, 2008 at 10:08 am

    I should say I know nothing about publications of my photos in press, because I made many documentary work for institutions and festivals and i had no control whta were happen after.

    Trinidad, beautiful like always; waiting for you for the photo workshops. I have this year 2 with the british Keith Cardwell, see my site http://www.trinidadphoto.com ; as you can remember this site was your idea.

    Good to hear voice from Trinidad, one of the most beautiful places of the world and the best light for photography!
    This is sad what you say about hurricane’s damages in Cuba. I wish you all the best!

    Btw; when I was In Trinidad I stayed in Mariela’s casa on bolivar street I see on the map from your website it is very close of your casa.

    DAH

    AM very much looking forward to this one..one of the rewards of living in NYC..excited too to see ANNA B’s work..and hopefully to see GINA there. I know KELLY is coming as well, going to be a good night..Am a bit happily stunned at the guests EUGENE AND BRUCE..

    LASSAL CARRY OVER from the other thread..

    keep wondering if you familiar with french artist Sophe Calle who works with the written and photo narrative?

    To save time, some cut and paste, disjointed notes..

    Her work frequently depicts human vulnerability, and examines identity and intimacy. She is recognized for her detective-like ability to follow strangers and investigate their private lives. Her photographic work often includes panels of text of her own writing.

    For her exhibit ‘Take Care of Yourself’, Sophie Calle asked 107 women, chosen for their profession or skills, to interpret this letter, to analyze it, comment on it, dance it,sing it – all in the form of texts, of photographs and videos. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/jun/16/artnews.art

    And in another..

    Ms. Calle’s exhibition begins with a narrative covering 92 days leading to the end of a relationship. Viewers lined up to “read” through what the artist describes as her most profound personal pain. Each photograph is unsentimentally stamped to mark that day and laid out like a calendar of regret. The exhibition spans over 20 years worth of photography and installations.

    a photo here:

    You and Marina were in one all night long dream last night..you had just come to visit, crazy stuff, we were eating old books that had turned to dust and I was showing Marina how I fly with just my meditation scarf extended in my arms for loft..am outright exhausted from it this morning, but holy sh.t..looking forward to your stay.

    September 17, 2008 at 11:49 am

    i think my comments were lost in the end of the ‘war photographer’ note…so i re-post them…

    DAH,
    thank you! It’s great that you took time to look my pictures.

    As I don’t have an authorization of the dancers (there is dozens of dancers,and i don’t know them personally), i solve the problem by showing only back photos. I’am working on another dance solo where I know the dancer, so i’ll be more free.

    I put my site online after talking with you at Visa, and for now, it was just to introduce myself to other bloggers, and a starting point to build and share something more serious with everybody there (so…just the beginning…)

    ALL / DAH
    I made a new dance photos presentation including more portraits:
    http://jnss.x10hosting.com/dah.html
    then go to ‘projects’, ‘dancers #2′

    Everybody comments are welcome!!!

  • Lee Guthrie
    September 17, 2008 at 2:59 pm

    Herve and Panos,

    There is so much on the news about this issue with China/Tibet; I think hashing it out on a photography blog is rather limp use of your protests. Like preaching to the choir. I am very concerned about Tibet’s freedom. The DL came to Maui and I stood not 50 feet from him and heard his wonderful laugh and heard his incredible wisdom. If someone of that caliber is unable to get Tibet’s freedom, how does cursing at China on a blog help?

    Not being mean….just want this blog to remain on course. If there is a Chinese Embassy in your home towns, picket.

    ALL

    Wow. I just added them up (ok, so I’m a little OCD)…in the time since I’ve started reading here (just before the self-portrait “general” assignment) there have been over 5,500 comments…amazing!

    I said back then I was jumping in….to do so fully, I think I need to present answers to some of the questions that DAH posed to Guido (and that Erica has subsequently posed to me, hopefully she will see them when she’s done eating dust-books and comes down from meditation-scarf induced flight).

    So this long post is that background….feel free to skip to the end, as I can be long-winded :)

    I have been in and out of photography since the late 70s/early 80s, when in high school I bought a used Pentax K1000 and 50mm lens and taught myself how to use it. For those who don’t remember it the K1000 was a workhorse, a completely manual SLR that was built like a tank. Anyway, I learned some basic technical skills with it. At that time, I always wanted to be good at art, to be able to create things of beauty, to express myself, but I wasn’t very good at the usual art forms…drawing, painting, etc, and I gave it up. I didn’t really have an exposure to photography as art, and never pursued it (much because of the early frustrations of bad images and the cost of film/processing….).

    I went through the rest of college taking pretty decent snapshots (although I looked at one old album the other day, and see a few shots that show promise, if only I had known what to look for…..).

    During and right after college, I spent much time trying to “find myself”… including some years waiting tables and working sound for bands and working in a recording studio (I’m also a frustrated musician – would love to play an instrument well, but only play drums badly…but I do have a good ear and can work a mixing/recording console pretty well). Finally about 6 years later I completed my degree, got married, and got a “real” job. During this time, I pretty much abandoned photography. Over the years my professional career as an IT/information security expert has grown, and I am currently consulting and speaking to pay the bills.

    In the last year or so, I’ve become re-acquainted with photography, mainly because of the desire to be able to capture important family events, and, (more recently discovered), the still-present desire to be able to create art…and perhaps the realization of a bit of ability beyond my earlier failings with ink or paint…

    So we come to motivation….I want to be able to create good images…images that express me, that evoke feeling….I can do this in a limited way now, but I feel it is a bit random, perhaps only by luck. But I think there is more than luck underneath, and that with practice and guidance I can begin to consistently create something beyond good snapshots…one of the quotes I have from the blog I like is when DAH said

    “having a picture of drama is not necessarily having a dramatic photograph…two totally different things…”

    I want to be able to create dramatic, powerful photographs. Not as a career, or even to make money, but to satisfy my inner desire to create…

    So I suppose that is the long term goal…I know I have a loooooong way to go on that one ;)

    My short term goal is more specific….I want to create a portfolio so that by next year when/if I can attend one of DAH’s workshops, I can submit it proudly and be confident that I have what it takes….or, of course, to learn along the way that I will always just be a taker of good snapshots, and know this and be satisfied with it…

    I have posted a few images along the way, but have now re-organized somewhat and put together a web page where they are accessible…I will continue to update as I work and go along, and ask for critique and suggestions to improve…

    Deep heartfelt thanks to all of you who post and respond for welcoming me in to this great party, especially to our incredibly generous and gracious host, Mr. Harvey…I can see wonderful things happening, and want to be part of it…to contribute, and not just be “along for the ride”….so I will do my best in this regard…

    good light to you all…

    wrote you a letter this morning :))…funny about your dream because I gave you lots of Metta thoughts last night during our Metta meditation (this saturday, Marina and i are doing a whole-day Metta meditation retreat!). I actually sent Metta to you and david and patricia and panos and lisa SPECIFICALLY last night (maybe that’s why we were in your dream) and to the whole blog in general :))…TRUE!…and we’re excited about coming…i havent thought that far ahead, ’cause im still wrestling with the edit of Bones and want something that will knock people’s socks off…anyway….send me ur number and i’ll callu next week…also, marina and i thought (if you wanted) we could also help with your photo shoot if you need assistants :)))…

    ANDREW B! :)))..i love any comentator that writes more than i do!!!..it keeps the pressure off ;))))…Im disappointed that Herve doesn’t write long comments anymore (what’s up Herve,?)…but, i’m so happy that big-daddy Akaky is here to juice up the Tolstoy-days of lengthy comments and that David (madman) bowen does his proustian best too :)))…or would that be Eric E who usually writes wonderful long comments as does Sidney when we can coax him out of the NW Rainy stupor ;)))……so lenghty or not, write write write away :))))…

    Herve: why are your comments so sure now?…i miss their length…:)))

    TIBET/CHINA:

    wow, this blog is always interesting to read…too bad it’s not in a bar! :)))

    all i can say is that im doing a metta meditation and that, (a buddhist sanctuary of monks is housed right next to our apartment and every morning i pass monks (old and young) doing a walking meditation) in the end money and oppression cannot last forever…

    (Posted this on the previous thread before I noticed this new one).

    Try taking a look at these and see if they are any closer to what you think I should be trying to do. The same general topic- Asian Vancouver. They were originally shot in February but are part of a huge batch that I am still editing. My own view is that it’s some of my best work to date (other than landscapes which have been my main thing for decades) but I’m curious to hear what you think:

    I posted this on the War Photographers thread before dear Andrew B let us stay-behind folks know there was a new thread. Thanks, Andrew! This is what I wrote…

    SIDNEY

    Regarding ways to become looser photographically, this might be worth a try:

    Before I arrived at this blog I too was quite caught up with Composition with a capital C. I’d look through my viewfinder and consciously set things up in a way that satisfied my rather demanding artist’s eye. Golden Mean and all that. Maybe it came from decades of being a painter, I don’t know.

    Last May while at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival downtown, I found myself taking shots “blind,” with the camera sitting in my lap–I use a mobility scooter to get around–and the lens pointing up towards people’s faces. When I downloaded these shots I found a lot were totally off, but some were right on. And I liked them. They had an energy and life I’d never captured before. For examples, check out the close-up dance shots here:

    http://upload.pbase.com/windchimewalker/for_review

    PASSWORD patricia

    The more I use this technique, the better I become at “guessing” where to point the camera, what focal distance to set, etc. I’d say I now use this “lap shooting” technique at least 60% of the time. I particularly like using it when I want to get portraits of people as they’re talking to me. I can stay present to the conversation without shoving my camera up to my eye and losing eye contact with the person. Sometimes I get shit, but lots of times I get pure gold. I’m convinced that’s because my subjects are not feeling self conscious like when I point the camera in their faces. I also catch them in motion, when they’re excited about what they’re saying. An example:

    http://www.pbase.com/windchimewalker/image/99334580

    Sidney, this might work for you or maybe not. But even trying it might loosen things up a bit. Of course, this technique is cheaper for us digital folks, but even with film it can work. Think of Walker Evan’s Subway series. It sure worked for him!

    anyway, we are laughing at what you said about Panos quickly shutting down our forum’s now free exposure to China!! funny!!

    yup, one or two of his China diatribes and we will be cut off forever….

    Panos, if you are reading this, and i have no doubt that you are, PLEASE let us have access to China….

    just think VENICE BEACH in China!! we can be like NEW INFORMATION for so many Chinese photographers who just need to be exposed to YOU (no pun intended)to get them going and start a revolution that will free them from their Communist/Capitalist dual identity crises and therefore SET YOU FREE from having to be the watchdog of Chinese aggression worldwide….

    think about it girls and boys….i will accept whatever decision you make regarding our foreign relations stance in either China or any other country…

And 12 excellent photographers who have been fortunate enough to be taking your loft workshop. Triple WOW!!! Sure hope there will be some snaps taken & shared here on the blog. We will ALL be there in spirit.

    David, could you please give this thread a title so others can find it better? Thanks.

    ANDREW B

    I’ve just visited your beautifully designed web site and want to share some of my responses.

    I find your Gypsies portfolio the most engaging, especially when you use unexpected POVs and DOFs. For me the most effective images are the most abstract…like Image #1. I can hear the click of her castanets, and the colors and composition are stunning. I love the gesture of the dancer in Image #7 but find the audience distracting. If it were my photo, I’d use Photoshop to select the dancer and then blur and lighten the background so she would stand out better. Next time I’d try to use a lower f-stop. Image #6 is well captured and composed. I love her “come hither” look! I think Image #8 could be stronger if you went in even tighter on her belly and the swirling scarf, but I admit I am biased towards tight well-filled frames. That’s pretty much how I work myself. And can you convert Image #5 back to color? This is a series that cries out for color!

    I guess all of my comments show my bias. Each of us has our own eye and way of seeing, so, Andrew, take what I have to say with a grain of salt ;=)

    You obviously feel music and dance in your soul. I encourage you to explore this subject. Maybe at a dance club…

    Though I was once, in a long-ago previous lifetime (the Sixties!), a New Yorker, I haven’t been there since 1998. Most unlikely I will be there anytime soon. No money for travel beyond the immediate Northwest neighborhood, and frankly no interest in riding airplanes even if I could afford to. A face-to-face meeting is possible if you are coming thru Seattle sometime (lots of Seattle or near-Seattle folks on the forum, Tom, Katia, Charles, etc.). Or, even better, Vancouver… Sorry, I live in a tiny minimalist apartment and regrettably am not in a position to host you in our ‘City of Subdued Excitement’.

    I know that face-to-face and hands-on is the way to go… but just not possible due to current circumstances… I can hardly expect you to write at any length or in any detail, given the myriad demands on your time, energy, and attention… and the sluggishness of the medium in this case… still, anything you care to write will of course be extremely appreciated and deeply reflected on.

    Meanwhile I will send you a disk with three of my 4-5 minute music slide shows… quickest and most painless way I know to show you the full range of what I have done. (Naturally, you don’t have to watch them if it’s too painfull!!).

    Cheers,

    You and I were writing & posting simultaneously–not the first time!–but PLEASE don’t sweat getting the contact sheets to Ed and me. Of course we look forward to seeing them but there is NO rush. You’ve really been on a tear, my friend. Please let next week be a bit of a chill-out time. Heck, you’ve got another loft workshop staring you in the face. I know you love them but they must take a tremendous amount of energy and attention. So next week, just CHILL…
